A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Dracaena diagnosis...

Hi all,

I'm trying to diagnose a problem with a Dracaena in a wall pocket. I'm just beginning to pick up some gardening knowledge, so this one is a mystery.

Here is a photo of the problem leaves, which I have been removing when they get as bad as those in the photo. Does this look like a fungus problem or a watering problem? The plant looks otherwise healthy and I also have a separately planted spiral version of the same plant...and unfortunately it has the same issue. Something in the water maybe?

Thanks,

I have never seen anything like that, my first thought is fertilizer burn due to it being so black second thought would be something in the water. You are right in cutting off the bad leaves in case it is some kind of fungus, good luck I hope others will help you out.
