dracaena marginata

[masma]

This house plant is in my bathroom where it gets plenty of light, however... the leaves are falling off! I think I may have over watered it as the soil is very damp. My question is - if I slow down, or stop the watering will it recover?

The Dracaena's leaves will turn brown and die back naturally as the plant grows. If most of the leaves are falling, then you probably have overwatered. The compost should be damp, so dont let it completely dry out. If you are left with a spindley stick, topped with a few leaves that looks awful, be brutal, take your secs and cut the stem to about 3" - 4", the plant should spring into life and start again in a month or so.

Excellent - Thank you for that I'll give it a go.
