Slightly sad looking cornstalk dracaena!
Looking a bit droopy and yellow, not sure what might need changing! #Dracaena #CornstalkDracaena
2ft to light, direct
9” pot with drainage

Hi! At first glance the droopiness could be that it’s cold (eg if it’s by a vent or a draft), or that it’s almost ready for water.
But the discoloration makes me think that there might be something going on with its roots. If possible I want you to take it out of its pot (a PITA I know) and see what’s up.
I did a post on this and will share the link - 🌱☀️❤️

@RealSimpleMama thank you! It’s due to be repotted anyway, as it’s outgrown its current pot. Will this soil be ok to repot it in? Thanks!
@RealSimpleMama it turns out that Rick is actually Rick1 and Rick2!
There’s no root rot, but it was massively root bound and the original soil (coir I think) was super duper compacted around the roots, and not actually absorbing water. Reported them in a 50/50 mix of houseplant compost and an orchid bark/perlite mix, so hopefully they’ll pick up 😁
