# Hello! I inherited a couple of dragon trees a few months ago and was…

_Publié par Cyn le 2025-10-16_

Hello! I inherited a couple of dragon trees a few months ago and was told by someone to repot them in nothing but Kellogg Gromulch.

They’ve been doing well but I test the soil (mulch?) for moisture before watering them, and the reader consistently reads at the highest level of moisture. I haven’t watered them in over a month now because it’s always reading “wet.” I stuck my finger in there too and there’s definitely a lot of moisture still, but it’s not soggy or sopping wet.

Leaves are yellowing and dropping but I have no idea if it’s from being under watered or there’s now rot in the root.

Does anyone know anything about Gromulch? l don’t know if there’s something in it that makes it not dry out completely or what’s going on but it doesn’t make sense to me.

I’m planning to repot them this weekend using fox farms and some orchid bark to give it more aeration, but I’m afraid of shocking the plants and having them die on me.

Any ideas or suggestions at all?

Give it the right soil

Do you know anything about Gromulch? The guy from Home Depot seemed to really know what he was talking about and that’s what he recommended. The trees belonged to my grandma before she passed away and apparently she used the same thing, but I don’t know if she’d mix it with anything. I’m so afraid of killing the trees. She had them for years and they were her babies! 😭

I've had a dragon tree for years it's potted in Fox farm/orchid bark/perlite . I let it go bone dry before I water it. Sounds to me like you better get them out and into some better draining soil before you do lose them. 😕

Yeah that’s my plan for this weekend. I was hoping to get some insight on the gromulch I’ve been using but that’s not as important and getting them in good soil

Grouch is designed to be used both as a soil amendment for planting and as a top-layer mulch for moisture retention and weed suppression

Makes sense. So good to mix in but not as the only thing
