Help! I repotted and sheās stressed ā¹ļø #Dracaena Gurus! 7 foot Dracaena that I had to repot (roots were staying wet too longā¦). Dry patches starting at tips and sometimes where the light green spots are. Iām afraid to water as she dry only to 2inches into the soil. I assume sheās stressed by the repot and that she doesnāt have diseaseā¦I moved her 3feet Northeast position to 5feet Southwest (needed the ceiling height!). NOTE: the root ball was not totally intact when repotted. About half of it got separated š©. Any feedback or advice?
