Brown Spots on My Dracaena?

 Home Plant Care: Brown Spots on My Dracaena?



If you find brown spots on your dragonfly, do not worry - the plant mother is here to help! Brown spots on Dracaena can be caused by a variety of factors. Below are some possible causes and solutions to help your plant regain shape!


Plant Symptoms:

- Brown, dry spots on some leaves

- Leaf tips turn brown

- Small brown spots cut into yellow


Possible cause 1: Irregular irrigation


If you notice brown spots and spots on your dragonfly, the problem may be due to irregular watering. If the soil dries out too much, the tips of the leaves will be brown with spots and spots.


How to fix it:


Water your dragon once the top 75% of the soil in the pot has dried to the touch. Check your plants every 7 to 10 days and remember that in winter our homes are often hot and dry, so the plants need to be watered frequently.


Possible cause 2: Water sensitivity


If you notice brown spots on the tips and edges of the leaves, it may be a sign of the presence of chlorine and/or fluoride in the tap water or a sign of salt accumulation in the soil.



How to fix it:


Fill a container with tap water and allow the chlorine and fluoride to evaporate without covering it for at least 24 hours. Another option is to use rainwater or distilled water instead.


Also, if you notice white deposits accumulating on the outside of the pot (especially near the drain holes), this is a sign of excess salt. Use rainwater or distilled water to remove excess salt.


Possible cause 3: Leaf spot disease


If you notice small brown spots cut into yellow, your plant may have leaf spot disease. Invasive fungi or bacteria feed on the leaves, leaving small brown spots on the yellow. These spots can vary in shape, color, and size.



How to fix it:


Immediately remove the affected leaves and isolate your dragonfly for the time being from your other plants. To treat leaf spot disease, try this home remedy by putting a teaspoon or two of baking soda and a teaspoon or two of mineral oil in a spray bottle of water. Shake the solution well and then spray on all parts of the plant affected by brown spots.


Plant Mother Tip:


I always recommend removing the damaged part of a leaf or the entire leaf if it is completely brown. Removing dead leaves or damaged areas helps the plant recover and gives it its best appearance. You will need very sharp scissors or scissors.


How to properly remove damaged or dead leaves:


1. Cut off the tips or spots of the brown leaves with clean scissors. Cut off only the damaged tips or spots, leaving a small edge of brown so as not to damage the remaining healthy foliage on the plant.





2. If the whole leaf is brown, remove the individual leaves at their base. Gently pull the leaf; It may come automatically. If the leaf does not separate by gently pulling, cut through the stem with clean scissors.

A successful small garden requires a big idea

You can let a large garden develop. And by 'large' I mean a garden more than 80 feet (25 m) long. All of the most successful small gardens I've seen lately have a strong idea behind them. In a small space, you can see everything at once, so it's important that everything looks good together. This principle applies regardless of shape, although many small gardens are wider than they are long. See here for general tips on the Shallow Wide Garden . Here are three successful small space garden ideas to inspire you. A plant-lover's garden After visiting Philip Ostenbring's garden (open once a year for NGS), I realized that a small outdoor space for unusual plants is a wonderful display area. There is no need to plant in a small space, in threes or in drifts, as the plants are very close to you. Each model looks great in a courtyard, terrace or patio garden. Whereas if you dot a variety of single plants around a large garden, everything can look out of p

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid
