The Fix: If the leaves are falling over because of root rot or the plant is root-bound, repotting it is the best solution. "Snake plants should be repotted every three or four years," says Langelo.
The dracaena marginata, or dragon tree, is a type of tree that grows long, thin, needle-shaped green leaves edged in a gorgeous red color that sit on top of the plant’s trunk. Erin Marino ...
Dracaena houseplants like humidity and moderate watering. They can tolerate periods of drought but the tips of the leaves may turn brown. [14] Leaves at the base will naturally yellow and drop off, leaving growth at the top and a bare stem. [14] Dracaena are vulnerable to mealybugs and scale insects. [14]
Calcium deficiency symptoms appear initially as localized tissue necrosis leading to stunted plant growth, necrotic leaf margins on young leaves or curling of the leaves, and eventual death of terminal buds and root tips. Generally, the new growth and rapidly growing tissues of the plant are affected first.
Dracaena fragrans (cornstalk dracaena), is a flowering plant species that is native plant throughout tropical Africa, from Sudan south to Mozambique, west to Côte d'Ivoire and southwest to Angola, growing in upland regions at 600–2,250 m (1,970–7,380 ft) altitude.
Dracaena americana reaches a typical maximum height of 12 meters with a multi-stem habit; newer stem growth exhibits leaf scars, whereas older growth exhibits an exfoliating bark. The bright green straplike leaves are soft, up to 35 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, and are borne along the length of the stems, rather than the tufted habit typical of ...
Sansevieria ehrenbergii in habitat.. Sansevieria is a historically recognized genus of flowering plants, native to Africa, notably Madagascar, and southern Asia, now included in the genus Dracaena on the basis of molecular phylogenetic studies.
A common example is the curling of Rhododendron leaves in response to cold temperatures. Mimosa pudica also show thermotropism by the collapsing of leaf petioles leading to the folding of leaflets, when temperature drops. [1] The term "thermotropism" was originated by French botanist Philippe Van Tieghem in his 1884 textbook Traité de ...
