Dracaena Sunray

Advice

1. Moderate watering: Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry out before watering again. Avoid waterlogging.

2. Bright Indirect Light: Place the plant in a brightly lit location but avoid intense direct sunlight.

3. Moderate Humidity: The Dracaena Sunray can tolerate moderate humidity levels, but will appreciate occasional sprays of water.

4. Fertilisation: Feed with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce fertilisation in autumn and winter.

5. Pruning: Cut back yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.

Signs of weakness

1. Yellow Leaves: If the leaves of your Dracaena Sunray are turning yellow, it may be a sign of overwatering or inadequate drainage.

2. Brown Tips: Brown tips on the leaves may be due to dry air, low humidity or excessive fertiliser use.

3. Drooping Leaves: Both underwatering and overwatering can cause leaves to wilt and drop. Be sure to follow a consistent watering schedule.

4. Leaf Spots: Fungal infections or bacterial diseases can cause leaf spots. If you notice irregular spots or discolouration, investigate quickly.

5. Stunted Growth: Lack of adequate nutrients or lack of sufficient sunlight can result in stunted growth.
