My boyfriend recently bought a Dracaena marginata plant. We be still trying to adjust to where the best place to the plant would be within my home (to provide it with the right horizontal of light), as well as the better level to water it when we get terribly cold weather. My house tend to get really cold during the winter and very soon the leaves have turned ashen and/or brown are EXTREMELY dry and brittle and the tips of the leaves are kind of bent or are wilted. As in good health, several of its leaves have fall off. As we in recent times got the plant, I'm not sure if the incentive of all this be overwatering, underwatering, improper sunlight, or the cold, or a combination of everything. I own moved the plant to my office, where on earth it is both warmer and it get better indirect light. I'm looking for any suggestions to sustain me coax this plant back to honest health and hold it that way! Thanks!
Answers: Sounds close to it's too cold and dry for your plant. Don't water it more, but increase the humidity around it. Place the plant into a tray near pebbles in it so the plant sits higher than the pebbles, then include water to cover partially the pebbles' depth. This is a great trick for increasing humidity around any houseplant, especially in winter.
It is possible you enjoy overwatered the plant until the roots have rotted. If that's true, next not much will save it.
