Hi friends! My Dracaena is looking mostly good but starting to get 1 yellowish leaf on the bottom w/ a brown tip.

I’ve been feeling like the Greg watering suggestion for this plant is actually too spread apart, the soil is SUPER dry by the time watering day comes. (And yes all my plant details are 100% correct in the app)

The days before watering, his leaves start to curl, and 1-2 days after watering they open up and look perky again.

I just watered the other day, but is it possible that this yellowing leaf is because he’s gone thirsty too long?

AND β€” does anyone know if I can change the watering notifications on Greg to make them slightly less days between watering?

Thanks in advance 🌱
12ft to light, direct

Good Morning! β˜€οΈ I have a Dracaena Golden Heart, which I had for a while. First off, you should buy a water meter, which will indicate whether or not, your Dracaena’s soil is dry or not. Second, Dracaenas are very sensitive to tap water, because it contains salt and chlorine, which will harm their leaves. Use either filtered or distilled water. I water my Dracaena once every 14 days, you don’t have to wait for Greg, to tell you when to water, if you feel your plant needs watering, hit the watering button, then Greg will push up the days closer for you. Sometimes leaves do yellow, so that energy can go to the rest of the plant. Also Dracaenas do not like direct sunlight, move your plant to indirect light. I hope this helps. Here is my β€œElle”! Have a great Friday and weekend on purpose!
