and don't worry, repoting is 💯% on my to-do list this week

UPDATE: she has successfully been repotted! it was a struggle, but hopefully it pays off 🤞

I just went through this myself! I tediously cut away the pot so I wouldn’t harm the roots. I didn’t think I had waited too long! Wrong.

😅 at least you know the roots are strong and healthy

### Dave\_opuntiaface reageerde op 2025-06-09

The roots are picture-perfect!

I rescued one from the trash and it hasn’t grown any leafs. And all of the other ones fell off

caring for them definitely has a learning curve! make sure your dracaena receives bright light, but not too much indirect sun. in my experience, leaves have fallen off due to underwatering and too much direct light. they also can be pretty slow at producing new leaves, so be patient- you'll get there! :)
