How to fertilize Ray of Sunshine Dracaena
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Ray of Sunshine Dracaena after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s going on with my Dracaena? I got this plant 6 months ago, just from a supermarket after moving to a new place with my partner. We got a Monstera at the same time, which has been absolutely thriving and I’m so happy with it! But this Dracaena hasn’t grown much at all, although there’s maybe a bit of growth in the middle? Over the last 2-3 months it’s started to have a few crispy tips and marks on the leaves. I water it when Greg tells me to and I’ve tried to give it regular sun as much as I can. Does anyone know why it might not be doing very well, and is there anything I can do?

I would like to repot my snake plant. What size pot should I use and should It be a clay pot? #Dracaena

This was gifted to me two months ago bc I have East, Southeast and South facing windows up in a condo. Originally it was by the window but I realized it doesn’t like direct sun so I moved it out of direct sun. Ever since it came (from west facing windows in a house) first it was turning brown from direct sun but now it’s turning yellow, what does this mean and how do I fix it. I was doing 2 cups of water once a week

PSA: Snake plants are certified drama queens. Mine launched itself off the shelf today, spilled soil everywhere, then casually revealed it’s been growing a pup this whole time. “I’m fine, by the way.” 🌱 🥹 #SnakePlant #DramaticPlants #NewGrowth

Why are the leaves yellowing? This plant is less than 3 ft from the window, I water when the soil is dry through. But for the past week the leaves have slowly gotten more yellow. Please help #Dracaena
