What’s going on with my Dracaena?
I got this plant 6 months ago, just from a supermarket after moving to a new place with my partner. We got a Monstera at the same time, which has been absolutely thriving and I’m so happy with it! But this Dracaena hasn’t grown much at all, although there’s maybe a bit of growth in the middle? Over the last 2-3 months it’s started to have a few crispy tips and marks on the leaves. I water it when Greg tells me to and I’ve tried to give it regular sun as much as I can. Does anyone know why it might not be doing very well, and is there anything I can do?
13ft to light, direct
7” pot with drainage

Try switching to distilled water, improve airflow around the plant, and try not to get the leaves wet when you water. A few areas look like nothing more than some physical damage scars. These plants are super susceptible to brown spots. Overall it looks healthy though.
As for watering when the app tells you to, that could lead to issues. The app's reminders are more suggestions than anything, there are countless variables unique to your environment the app can't possibly take into account. Always let the soil tell you when the plant needs to be watered. The top half of the soil should feel dry. If you get a reminder but the soil is still damp, click the snooze button.
