Overwatering and root rot are the most likely cause of problems in Assorted Dracaena, since they are sensitive to wet soil. The leaves may also appear to be curling or drooping. Less often, yellow leaves are caused by underwatering, nutrient deficiencies, or pests.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
