the usual cause of yellowing in houseplants is lack of light. However, as strange as it may seem, dont move them. Your plants just went into shock because of the move and change of light.....Plants like the Dracaena can change from high light to low light but they have to lose some leaves to do it. Dont rotate your plant. Just keep it watered every two weeks or so, (only water when the soil is dry about 1 inch below surface) also, I recommend not cutting off any apparently dead leaves until they are brown. You want the plant to use its energy to survive right now, not grow new leaves.
Reply:As it happened suddenly I discount lack of water but that would be first check especially if you transplanted them. If that is not the case go to the nursery where you bought them and they will ask questions that will bring about an answer. In some stores .Lowes, Menard's,Home Depot there usually is a Big book by Ortho which has a large problem and answer section that will deal with individual plants such as your dracena.
Reply:changing color of plants can indicate couple things ... in your case it looks like lack of nitrogen.. u can simply go out and buy a organic nutrient and you'll notice dramatic change in color.. preferably a 10-10-4 nutrient = N-P-K n= nitrogen p= phosphorus k= potassium


i noticed that guano's work very well and they are all organic and provide all nutrients needed in one bag... instead of buying multiple hydro nutrients or reg store bought stuff. you can find guano anywhere almost these days





yellowing leaves - lack of nitrogen


brownish leaves - too much light or burnt by nutrient


crispy leaves - too much light too much nutrient


light color green leaves - lack of nitrogen


under performing plants - lack of light and lack of nutrient


droppy leaves - lack of water or light


leaves bending towards the sky = priceless = perfect balance of everything





hope this helps lol
Reply:for a hundred dollars each, I would march back in to the nursery and tell them to keep them until they are healthy......who knows, they may have been overfed as they often are being delivered to nurseries from the growers....take them back and plop them down for replacements...
Reply:If you only bought them a week ago then I would definitely take them back. For that kind of money you need an explanation. Good luck.
Reply:sounds like they are getting tooo much sun and burning move them to a shadier area and give some water look in home depot for a treatment to put in the soil to boost them back
Reply:Is it getting full sun? If so, it may be getting "burnt". It doesn't like direct light. Indirect or filtered is best.





If you bought just a week ago - I would check into the return policy of the store.
