My dragon plant is dropping leaves and losing its red acc...

I need some advise for my dragon tree. I noticed once we hit the fall months and the sun light wasn’t as strong, the leaves started to drop. I figured it was adjusting to the change of season. I also just got back from a two week vacation and I’m not sure my house sitter watered my plants. The soil was really dry and the leaves looked limp. I’ve since watered the plant and see some life back in the leaves. The plant has been through a lot. Question: how do I give this plant a little boost? Should I use my indoor lights and see if that helps? I know it doesn’t like direct sunlight but I feel like my house is darker now that it’s snowing and raining all the time.
4ft to light, indirect
10” pot with drainage

I think you actually have a Dracaena Marginata, a type of dragon tree.

Anyway, you can use grow lights for a boost. Though, they are generally slow growing and will most likely do fine.
@Catplantaddict thank you! I’m early in my plant journey. Thanks for the insight!
