My plant is beginning to brown at the tips. I have no ide...

Browning tips are usually a sign of under watering but the first rule of thumb is to check if the soil is damp a few inches deep. It could be due to inconsistent watering as well. Some plants are a bit fussy and don’t like to be dry.

Another thing to keep in mind is if the water you’re using is purified or not. The last thing I can think of is checking humidity?
I agree with the comment above, definitely usually first sign is under watering or inconsistent watering.

And I'd definitely recommend watering with filtered water if you aren't already as tap water can have too many chemicals in and can also damage plants as well.

Humidity isn't a massive issue with dracanea as normal household humidity levels should be fine, so my guess would be it's a watering issue. X
So I think perhaps it could be the under watering. I’ve purchased this app to remind me to water her and I’ll go from there. I am using tap so I am switching to the filtered water as well. Thank you so much for the help!
What type of water are you using?! If it is tap water, Dracaenas are very sensitive to it because of the chlorine and fluoride in it. You have to get distilled or filtered water. If you have to use tap water, you must let it sit out 24 hours uncovered. The same thing happened to my β€œElla”I corrected the problem, here she is now!οΏΌοΏΌοΏΌοΏΌ
