Dracaena help

My 11 year old plant has always been healthy until it gained fungus gnatts. I changed its soil and now all the leaves have fallen off. The branches are still green at the ends so it is currently still alive but I want to save it. Can anyone help/advise?

  • It's suffering from shock having been re-potted and the most important thing now is to put it somewhere with a bit of warmth and plenty of light (a south-facing windowsill is ideal). Whatever you do, do not water it or the roots will very likely rot and that will be the end of it!  With a bit of luck it will recover and once it is growing again and the compost dries out so that the top inch is completely dry, (stick a finger in to test) only then commence watering it again.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
