# I have a dracaena (Corn Plant) that has started to get some yellowing…

_Geplaatst door JT op 2025-02-16_

I have a dracaena (Corn Plant) that has started to get some yellowing leaves especially at the lower portion. Any thoughts about potential causes (too much or too little water, location, etc.)? I am just following the app’s watering schedule.

At the moment I don't know if there's a problem with your plant, but it is not uncommon for dracina's to lose lower leaves.

I would err on the side of too little water, they’re pretty drought resistant, mine gets a lot of sun and is doing well but used to have yellow leaves when I watered too much

I just use the planta schedule as a reminder to check the soil and see if it needs water - if not I snooze it. If you just follow the schedule without checking usually it makes you overwater
