Dragon Tree help!

11 years ago

For some reason, I am having a lot of trouble caring for my 2 dragon trees. I have got about 4 houseplants + plants in the greenhouse and garden, ranging from carnivorous plants to palm trees, and in between. Why am I having so much trouble with my dragon trees?

I use the same soil I use for my other plants (coir), which isn't always the best for all plants, so I only use it on the plants that will benefit from it. However, it does not seem to work for my dragon trees, even though I have added perlite and gravel to aid drainage (the same as my other plants [including cacti, which are also growing very well]). I have also tried moving them around to see whether it was the light conditions, but no change. I have unpotted them at least 4 times since I bought them earlier this year because the soil remained soggy for too long. And, as soon as I bought them I repotted them, as they were very pot-bound, but I didn't go a pot size too big (if anything too small), so that can't be the problem. The humidity is fine and the temperature is fine.

What else could it be?
