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.

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...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...

Top 10 Early Spring Flowering Shrubs

Early Spring Flowering Shrubs Spring-blooming shrubs and bushes add color to backyards early in the season, attract pollinators and more. 1. Carnelian cherry dogwood Cornus mas, zones 4 to 8 Size: Up to 20 feet tall and wide Welcome spring with bright yellow flowers that appear earlier than those of forsythia. These spring-blooming shrubs prefer full sun or partial shade and prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil. Leaves turn purplish red in fall, and scaly bark adds winter interest. Why we love it: Red fruits are edible, but they're also made into preserves, jellies and slices. Or leave them for the birds to enjoy. 2. Dwarf Russian Almond Prunus tenella, zones 2 to 6 Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and wide This moderate-sized shrub records the growing season with showy rose-red flowers and yellow-orange fall color. It prefers full sun, tolerates a variety of soil types and is very drought tolerant. Ruth's 100 produces lots of flowers on a small plant. Why we love it: Flo...
