# Help! I’m not sure what’s happening to my Dracaena. This issue…

_Lagt ut av Lauren den 2025-02-11_

Help! I’m not sure what’s happening to my Dracaena. This issue started recently and has been affecting more leaves over time. I’m careful with watering, so I don’t think it’s overwatered. However, when I bought it about a month ago, it had been neglected. The leaves are twisting, which could be related to lighting (I use a light meter to ensure it’s getting adequate light). I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong—any advice would be greatly appreciated!

They are often sensitive to tap water. Try RO or distilled water. A faucet mount water filter may help also. Leaving tap water sit overnight does not work.

I used filtered/bottled water today. Would that be okay as well?

#### Phil svarte den 2025-02-11

If it is distilled, yes, but don’t use bottled spring water. Spring water has minerals in it for taste.

Thank you for the advice! Will do that from now on!
