The dragon tree gets brown leaves

Don't panic with the first dragon tree: a form of growth similar to palm trees

The "trunk" of a dragon tree is often unbranched and from top to bottom in something of the same thickness. As with many palm trees, this trunk is created by slowly lengthening the upper end, where old leaves regularly die off. So with your first dragon tree, don't panic if the bottom leaves turn brown. This is quite normal as long as there are always new, fresh green or depending on the brown leaves above subspecies also reddish leaves grow back.

This is to be done with brown leaf tips

If the leaves are primarily brown at the leaf tips, this can be an indication that the air in the room is too dry. Dragon trees not only like it to be evenly warm, they also need a certain level of humidity. However, it is difficult to keep this constant high in many indoor spaces, since a high level of humidity also entails a certain risk of mold on the walls. However, you can do something good for your dragon trees if you use water that is as low in lime as possible (for example collected rainwater) in a spray bottle and with it the leaves at least once a week wet.

Be careful when pouring

If all the leaves of your dragon tree turn brown at the same time (or yellow and then brown at first), this can be a sign of heaviness Care errors be. For example, dragon trees don't like it at all when they:

• are too close to the radiator
• stand in direct sun all day long (this can lead to "sunburn" on the leaves)
• No way repotted will
• not fertilized will
• kept too dry or too wet

As a rule, the root ball of the dragon tree should never dry out, but waterlogging can be even more serious as a care mistake.
