I inherited this plant from a friend moving out of the country a few months ago, and it hasn't been doing well since I got it. Steadily dropping leaves and looking droopy. It started out with two more stems that I had to cut off, they had turned wrinkly, soft, and brown, and seemed to be dying completely. Now the remaining leaves are curling and turning brown/yellow. Some show pronounced dark veins running down the center and spreading out the sides. My care: it receives no direct light but is generally below a skylight and about 15 feet away from a southeast window that gets partial light. For a few weeks I had it closer to the window, but moved it away again because the leaves seemed to be developing scorch spots. I've tried watering it more and less (although I always let the soil dry out between waterings...if anything, I'd say I've underwatered it). I've tried misting the leaves and not misting the leaves (I'm currently not). The temperature is in the mid 60s and the air has been pretty dry right now. I left it in the same soil my friend had it in and it's in the same 17 inch pot. I haven't used any fertilizer on it, nor do I believe it has ever been fertilized. The water around here is probably chemically different than the water it had previously as I'm the next city over, although I would wager a guess and say it has always just received tap water...nothing distilled. Help me out! How can I get this poor guy healthy again? Here are some pictures of it: http://imgur.com/a/OfvEj
I'd say your plant is suffering from insufficient light (making it leggy) and lack of moisture. Dracaenas can be quite sensitive to chlorine in water. Does the door in background allow a influx of cold air each time it is opened? If the plant has been in the pot for a long time, might be advisable to repot in good fresh soil and have a close look at its roots while you're at it. Welcome to the Forum!
