@izzyandsugar she gets very little sun - maybe 3 hours indirect sunlight. I didn’t think they liked too much. AND I do have a habit of over watering - but she looks thirsty when she’s all crispy
Hi Michelle, these plants thrive in bright indirect light, and high humidity. They are also very sensitive to chemicals in tap water. I think 7 feet away from a window might be too far away. Even tho they can live in low light, they prefer bright indirect sun, so if you could put closer to a window but not in direct sun- it may help. Don’t water it anymore until it’s a lot drier. You can however mist it to help since they love high humidity. Also, I’d suggest getting distilled or rain water to water it. They are susceptible to root rot so overwatering isn’t good for them. I have quite a few Dracaena and I mix my own soil- it’s 60% cactus/succulent soil and 40% perlite- that helps the soil drain really well. I hope this helps 🪴💕
