    I recently bought this plant, and it looked quite healthy to me, but i've noticed some yellow spots on the inner new leaves. Is it some kind of an indicator of some kind of a disease or what? I will appreciate any advice on dracaena care. Thanx!

    it is possible that it may have had some fertilizer burn, or it may also be insect dammage.

    Mine have those too, also on the inside leaves but I don't fertilise so its probably not that. Mine is kept in the conservatory where it gets very hot but I'm also getting loads of new growth so I'm not worrying too much!

    James D, could that be insect damage from something that eats the roots? I had some symphylans a while back.....

    Oh and nspoisonivy try and water them with de-chlorinated water (i.e. water that's stood overnight) or you'll get brown tips and they quite like to be misted every few days. Hope that helps:)
