Question
Hello,
I have been reading a few questions about these kinds of plants. It seems that this may be caused by fluoride in water, but I am on well water, so I am pretty sure there should not be fluoride in there. What else could cause this?
I bought the plant with a larger and smaller plant. The smaller plant has three leaves with just brown tips, and one new leaf that is brown. However the bigger plant has the yellow tips which I noticed first and now browned tips are moving in and becoming more prevalent! There are a few new leaves that are browned.
Please tell me what to to to save it- I love this plant but I am just learning. Oh- the lighting- it is in a corner, about 12 inches from the window where the sun moves above the window in the arc, no direct lighting hitting the plant.
Should I cut the edges? Wet the leaves?
HELP!

Answer
Hi Kara,
  Just because you have well water doesn't mean that there is not stuff in it that would cause problems with a Dracaena. Chlorine and mineral deposits can also be harmful. Switching to distilled water may help.
Another problem may be too low humidity. Try placing trays of pebbles and water under the plant to raise humidity.
It is important to keep the potting media of most Dracaena species moist at all times. Thoroughly soak the soil when watering the plant by watering from the top of the pot until a small amount of water runs out of the drainage holes in the pot. This method of watering leaches out excess salts that can build up in the soil and harm the plant's roots and leaves. Never let the pot sit in the excess drainage water. Soggy wet soil can cause root rot and other problems. The plant should not be watered again until the surface of the soil feels dry to the touch. However it is very important that the soil/root ball does not dry out completely, this is fatal to some Dracaena species. Be sure to use a well draining potting soil.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions or need additional information please don't hesitate to ask.
