Gelo at bamboo's (dracaena sanderina) root?
The first log of my bamboo has started becoming yellow, very soft, too flexible, and gradually dies. I looked its root and something like a gelo has covered it, preventing it from taking in water or breathing. I carefully washed it out and most of the gelo left opening the whole root again. What is that and what can I do to prevent it from happening?
Gelo at bamboo's (dracaena sanderina) root?
Use distilled or filtered or spring water and change it once a week. Don't let anyone tell you different it wants lots of light but not direct sunlight. Keep the water about 1" above the root line.
Keep water fresh by changing it every week, and always keep water levels at approximately an inch from the base of the canes. Lucky Bamboo prefers plenty of indirect sunlight and room temperatures at 65-70o. Although opinions differ on feeding, your Lucky Bamboo is a living organism, so it makes sense to occasionally add a mild solution to the water such as African Violet fertilizer. Since growth can be controlled by feeding, small amounts of fertilizer will keep the plant at a manageable size.
*********NOTE**********
Why Are the Leaves Turning Yellow?
Two of the most common factors are 1.) too much direct sunlight; and 2.) too salty or heavily-flouridated tap water. Give your new Lucky Bamboo a thriving start be sure to keep it away from direct sunlight, and water only with filtered or natural spring water.

Care for my Dracaena Warnecki 'Lemon-Lime' plant?
I need to know where to go to read about caring for this plant I recently purchased. There is some kind of damage to many leaves and I don't know if I should cut them off and if they will grow again (for example)... Thanks!

My red-margined dracaena is losing leaves but not really getting new ones..?
It's a pretty large plant-stands about 5 feet tall. The leaves are falling off like crazy and it's starting to look bare. There are 3 "branches" and only one is doig really well. It doesn't look like it's dying, just bare. What can I do to help it grow better? What kind of care do these plants usually take? I've had it for about 3 years..
My red-margined dracaena is losing leaves but not really getting new ones..?
First answer is probably lack of light. However, you didn't tell us where you are and how much light the plant is getting.
Second answer is probably need for new potting soil and/or larger pot. Now ( February ) isn't the time to renew the soil, tho ( at least in the states except for zone Florida) .
Third answer is lack of or too much water. If the leaves on the plant look dry-- limp-- like you feel when you are dehydrated-- that is a good clue. Winter with indoor dryness affects us AND our plants.
Consult with a plant nursery a/o an online source for general care. The plant will be better when the its needs are met.

This link will tell you what you need to know! It is toxic.
I have Dracaena Janet Craig plant and the leaves are getting yellow spots then turning brown. Help...?
The plant 3 feet tall and is currently indoors and getting indirect light and about 16oz of water per week. The leaves first get yellow spots then turn completely yellow and then brown and die off...What can I do to save this plant?

Leaves that turn brown often indicate a build-up of salt in the soil. To correct this condition, take the plant where you can water the plant until soaking wet and in the process leech out the soil. Put it back indoors where it will get low to medium light. Allow the soil to dry between waterings. It also needs medium humidity. If you can, fertilize at least once a month.
Reply:could be over watering or to much lime in the soil. this article has some great tips about gardening that might help you better

I have a house plant called pleomele[dracaena reflexa] is it dangerouse to animals?
Yes to cats, Dracaena's have a very toxic root system, and in late fall, the leaves become highly toxic. Cats seem to get a nervous tremor from eating it, like epilepsy.
I have a house plant called pleomele[dracaena reflexa] is it dangerouse to animals?
I dont think dracene is dangerous to animals. the animals have a special scent maybe they would bite the plant but if it is poisonous they will let it down. U can keep ur plant in good shape and take care of it.
