Chronic wilting in my plant

Why is my dracaena marginata wilting? My plant Bella started badly wilting for the last 3-4 days, so I watered her because the dirt was very dry. I moved her to sun light but she only perked up slightly. She normally sits in a shuttered window that I open. It’s cloudy out today, but the weather is typically sunny. Can someone diagnose my plant? #openweavedragontree #wilting
1ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 years ago
I’d say make sure that there’s no water collecting in the cover pot at the bottom, they like to dry out between watering and are pretty hardy to being dry. I’d check the roots for rot too and go accordingly, may need a bigger pot!
Turn the dirt…. Maybe there’s too much water or not enough nutrients. Check the roots to make sure you do t have root rot
@Sherrychoco Here are the roots.
@Nallon Thank you! I think I will try a bigger pot and some better dirt quality. I added photos of the roots.
@Blackthumbs that looks like someone ready for a bigger pot to me!!
@Nallon I’ll pick up a bigger pot today! Thanks for the help πŸ™
@Blackthumbs I agree with @Nallon looks like your baby needs more dirt and a bigger pot. Some plant foot couldn’t hurt.
@Blackthumbs I’m sorry for the delay in answering you. I have to homeschool my son and our break was over. πŸ₯°
@Sherrychoco No problem at all! Thank you for all the help! πŸ˜„
