@Victoriamerr it might be getting too much sun. Mine is in a corner that is south and has windows on each wall. So like south south west and south southeast. I think mine is in 1 part succulent soil, 1 part coco coir and 2 parts perlite. The crispy leads me to believe it needs more water. Those are symptoms off too much light and not enough water.
@Victoriamerr What type of sun is it getting? And what type of substrate is it in? These are desert plants that can survive in even the worst of conditions, but if the soil stays too wet, it can lead to issues. They need well draining soil. Lots of sun. But I have noticed bottom watering is best. It soaks up water but the plant also drinks what it needs. You can also treat for fungus if the soil is staying wet for too long.
@TheOddAsity I have it under a plant light 12hr a day and it gets 1-2hr of natural sun where he is. He is just in normal planting dirt and a plastic pot that drains.
What type of water are you using? Dracaenas are very sensitive to tap water
