Why does your Dracaena fragrans have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Dracaena fragrans is highly susceptible to root rot when the substrate remains saturated for too long. Excess moisture deprives roots of oxygen, leading to yellowing that often starts on older, lower leaves.
These plants are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine found in many municipal tap waters. Accumulation of these minerals in the leaf tissue causes yellowing and distinct brown leaf tips.
A lack of nitrogen prevents the plant from producing sufficient chlorophyll, resulting in a uniform yellowing of older foliage. This is common if the plant hasn't been fertilized during its active growing season.
While they tolerate low light, a sudden lack of sufficient energy prevents the plant from maintaining chlorophyll levels. This often manifests as a slow, pale yellowing of the leaves.
