Hello, my Dracaena fragrans has been challenging from day one. I’ve had it for about two+ years. So I could start with repotting. But it’s never been stable. See photo where I’ve had to keep them roped together and staked, and I even kept tape at the base as well. They’re a cluster of 4. Things worth noting, the pot is 15.5” in diameter/19” tall hard plastic pot). I have it sitting 1’ away from a NW facing window and it’s also kitty corner to a north facing. I should add that I have not been great at watering it over the last couple years. I will sometimes go up to a month without watering, but I was consistent for the first year and it still had the stability issues. I plan on being better about watering. -when I repot it, can I keep it in the same pot or should a cluster of 4 have a wider diameter pot? From what I’ve read, the diameter and height is sufficient, but perhaps that information is for one and not a cluster? Any special tips on your favorite soil to purchase? Should I move it from a NW to a NE facing window? Any other tips? -my ponytail palm in the last photo has sadly been in front of a N facing window. This one was replanted about 6 months ago. I’ll take any tips for this guy. I could move this in front of a south facing window once a week for a half a day? -i’m aware that the window directions are not ideal, but unfortunately, but this is where they have to be. I did put a sun lamp in the ceiling that’s about 4 feet away from the corn plant and the ponytail palm. I figured why not even if it’s too far away. The window positions in this room are NW,N&NE.
