Houseplants are not protected from negative environmental factors at all. Yes, they are not afraid of frost, drought (if you do not forget to water), and pests (with rare exceptions).

But if we talk about the specific actions and deeds of flower growers, then out of ignorance they can send anything to the trash.

We will tell you what are the 3 most common mistakes that bring dracaena to a miserable state.

Oddly enough, flower growers create such disgrace with their own hands, and the reason is the elementary disregard for the general rules of plant care.

Mistake one

Dracaena will cease to serve as a decoration of the living space as soon as it is hidden in the shade. Here it simply physically will not be able to grow a lush and dense green mass. An excellent option for this plant is a place away from the southern window. The fact is that dracaena does not like direct sunlight either - they leave burns on the foliage.

Mistake two

You need to water the dracaena carefully, once you overwater it, the foliage will soon turn black and fall off. It is quite acceptable to water it after the soil in the pot has completely dried out.

Mistake three

The most ordinary draft can finish off the flower. In order not to disturb the pot with dracaena once again, find a place in the house where the greenery would have enough light, but at the same time there would be no threat of a draft when airing the rooms.
