I got this tree at the Home Depot & it was doing fine up until a couple of days ago when suddenly it has started dropping almost all of its leaves. Nothing had changed in the way I cared for it. Don't know what it is, need to figure out how to help the poor guy. Currently in a sunroom, possibly too much sun? I water once per week. Thanks for any help. [/ATTACH]
mdog...I dont think its too much sun, mine are in full sun all day....are those photos how it looks now or what it was like when you bought it? Oh BTW it is Dracaena Marginata Ed
Hi. Yes this is it's current condition. It was previously covered in the leaves from top to bottom & had been since purchase. Thanks so much for identifying it, now I can make sure I am caring for it properly.
Looks fine to me mate...don't forget nurseries having them growing in ideal conditions and when you get them home those conditions change. I wouldn't worry too much it may just be adapting Ed
i agree, most plants go through an adjustment phase when they are taken home. it's a dracaena - keep the soil evenly moist. if it's now in a sunnier/less sunny spot than it was at the store, it will need a couple of weeks to adjust to the different light level.
