# My Dracena that I propagated from a cutting, hasn’t really been…

_Posted by Sisley626 on 2024-01-09_

My Dracena that I propagated from a cutting, hasn’t really been growing in the past year. What could I be doing wrong? I repotted it in the spring. It’s near my balcony door, about 2 feet away so it gets indirect light from west facing. The tips of the leaves have been turning brown lately and I keep pruning them back. Maybe humidity is not enough? I try to mist it once a week. I’ve also been using liquid fertilizer at spread out intervals. Any help is appreciated.

I have one that was a gift when it was small. I have mine in a clay pot and I mist it often. It does look like a different variety, but does well in bright indirect sunlight or with grow lights, but leaves scorched and discolored with accidental direct sun. I pretty much follow Planta’s recommendations for care as I know nearly nothing about them.

My humble guess is lack of sufficient water. Generally yellowing and browning leaf tips indicate a watering issue. I do hope you figure it out. Best wishes.

Thank you! Yours looks great! I will try to give it a bit more water and see what happens. Might put a humidifier near it too.
