Why does your Dracaena braunii have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Dracaena braunii is highly sensitive to stagnant water. Excessive moisture saturates the soil, leading to anaerobic conditions that cause root decay, which prevents the plant from transporting nutrients, manifesting as yellowing leaves.
While they tolerate low light, a sudden lack of sufficient brightness can cause the plant to lose chlorophyll. Conversely, direct midday sun can scorch the leaves, turning them yellow and then brown.
Dracaena species are sensitive to fluoride, chlorine, and calcium found in tap water. Over time, these minerals build up in the leaf tissue, causing chlorosis (yellowing) and tip burn.
A lack of nitrogen prevents the formation of chlorophyll. In Dracaena, this usually manifests as a gradual yellowing of older, lower leaves first.
