@JTsJungle Hello 👋 Jess! I have one of these as well but mine has thicker leaves. They love humidity and since you just repotted yours from the nursery pot it’s going thru stress from repotting along with the dry air. It normally takes about two weeks for a plant to acclimate to their new environment. That’s two factors against you, but it’s not a lost cause at all. I have posted some pictures of my brown spots. I know it’s from lack of humidity.
Some brown spots appear on the young leaves while others can be found on the mature leaves alone. Brown spots may also appear on the margins of each leaf or at the tips.
There are tiny brown spots while there are those that enlarge over time. Some spots are water-soaked.
Most of them are triggered by stresses that are caused by poor environmental conditions and some are due to wrong practices.
Please be mindful when watering your Dracaena since you don’t have drainage. Dracaenas do not require a lot of water and are happiest when their soil is kept slightly moist but never soggy. Water your dracaena about once a week or every other week, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. You can also help keep your dracaena hydrated by misting its leaves once or twice a week. Dracaenas can be watered more during the growing season and less during the fall and winter when they are dormant.
I have never misted my leaves and mine sits real close to heat and cold drafts.

Thank you! Should I let these be or should I cut off the leaves that have browned?
