Hello people, My dracaena deremensis is in serious need of attention; I've had this plant for 3 years now and it's NEVER had any problems until now. I recently brought home a spider plant that looked like it was being neglected (ie. leaves were brown). I originally had the plants separated from eachother, and had no problems- but shortly after I placed them close together, my dracaena got the brown leaves!! it's been about a month, I've trimmed and watched, slowed my watering, and moved it to another location only to find the leaves are worse! It's all over now. If anyone can help I could sure use it!
Perhaps a transfer of bugs from the spider plant to the dracaena. A bug infestation would explain the sickly condition of the former.
Here's a picture of my dracaena now; until last month the leaves were dark green and glossy-I've read about a fungus called botrytis or something...not how to get rid of it. I've got children so I hope to find something non-toxic, just in case
