Happy Plant | How to fix 5 common issues | Dracaena Fragrans Massangeana Corn/Dragon Plant Care Tips 

Great tips, James! I've been nurturing my happy plant as of late and this vid came in good timing. I have been trying to find out the cause of the leaves yellowing and browning all the time and watching your vid, it is possible that it's due to excessive temperature. This Winter the whole family have had to wfh and I'm guilty of turning the AC on often and I believe the heat circulates well around the location of my happy plant. I'll be sure to do something about that. Love your vids, James! Keep making them :)

Oh the end of the video is hilarious! Thank you so much for the amazing plant tips 🙂

I was gifted a 30 year old happy plant and have been looking for tips to keep her happy and thriving since she is so old! Thank you so much for all the great advice, she just started blooming for us!

Amateur houseplant grower here. I have so much to learn and look forward to go through your videos and seeing more! NEW subscriber here...

I wish everything back to normal in Sydney keepsafe always! Anyway very useful tips. I try to grow mine from cuttings couple months ago but the leaves start to turn yellow and brown and start losing the leaves. But I moved it where is bright light and thanks God start to grow more new leaves now and looks so happy now😊 looking forward for more videos Godbless!

Great video!!! Thank you so much!!

I just inherited one of these! Thanks for the video. Watching from ohio.

I was gifted a dying one by my sister three years ago. I put well draining soil in because it had root rot but later pretty much gave it up and stuffed it into my UNHEATED sun room for a year because it looked like shit... and it survived a winter and suddenly it thrived. It grew new leaves and started to bloom and the perfume overtook the whole sunroom. I have never seen such a resilient plant. I took her back inside to my other indoor plants and she will always have a special spot in my heart. Came back from the death and blessed me with the most amazing bloom. Right now it's starting to bloom again, two years later!!! I can't wait for the lovely smell.

Best video I found yet!

I'm so happy I found this!!! Thank you for reassurance that my happy plant is kinda okay if browning. I definitely had him in too much sunlight though. I just subscribed and about to watch more of your videos.

I randomly got this plant two years ago because I thought it looked dope and it spoke to me I never knew it was called a happy plant

Ty! I just watered my draceana lemon lime since it had leaf twist!

I put 3 dracaena in a 12 inch terracata pot and they are thriving. I went to re-pot them, after nearly a year, into a larger pot, but upon importing them I saw they were perfectly happy just where they were. They're growing large in a smaller pot, and aren't even close to being rootbound. I think in a smaller pot they put most of their energy above the soil, into the plant growth rather than root growth. Also, they have always been in a fairly dark corner.of my house and they are totally content. I also found that browning tips are usually due to underwatering, or like you said, too much sunlight. Even window light is too much. Anyway, love your vids handsome. Very good. Xo -D

So helpful! Just got one recently from Flower Power

Thank you very helpful

hahahahahaha, not only are you cute and love plants. But you are also funny and have a great personality. keep up the good work.

Thank you!

Thank you! ;)

Ooop! Put my new one in my balcony 🥲 no wonder it was browning. Too much light 😢 very informative video thank you so much

I've just rescued one of these from the garbage room of my apartment block, looks like it hasn't been watered since Covid started and it's a very UN happy plant. I stripped off all the sick and dead leaves so the trunk is now very bare, but I'm thinking about cutting it back and using that bare stem with the growth at the top to start a new plant. Fingers crossed!

It's a strange plant for sure. I bought this at least three years ago. Never fertilized, never repotted, water it maybe once a month. I've legitimately double checked if it was a fake plant. I've never seen it change, never droops, never drops a leaf, also never grows, looks identical to the day I got it. Every few months I might notice a brown leaf at the base on the inside of the plant.

My plant is getting dark, brown, and curling leafs. I just got it. I have tried everything. I will give her some time and see how she adapts to the new home and the repotting.

Hi James, very informative video. Any issue on pest about this plant?

Thanks for sharing. What do I do if the dracaena fragrans heads dropped off few stalks, will they grow back or how to urge the heads to grow back on those empty heads ?

Thank you I've determined I've been under watering my plant cause I never water it until it starts to drain from the bottom, it's a very large plant.

I've got one stalk that has lost everything on branch and I am wondering if that branch is lost or if leaves will grow again. It had a little bud and I accidently popped it off when trying to remove dead leaves. I feel bad now for that.

I just bought one today

Thank you for your informative, charmingly presented videos :) Good advice, clearly presented. And now, I have to figure out how to actually *listen* to your future videos, instead of constantly being distracted, thinking _"...I wonder what he looks like in a swimsuit?...."_ And yes, yes I can be this shallow. _~turns face away embarrassedly~_

Great tips! I think I got a jade jewel from Trader Joe’s and some of the leaves are split. What do I do with those split leaves? Do I cut them off and how do I go about doing that? Thank you!

Do you have to water corn plants in the winter or is it okay to keep same watering schedule?

Hi, thanks for the informative video, my question is do you know how to get the trunk to grow an off shoot as one of my trunks hasn’t got any off shoots growing but seems healthy, I have three trunks in the same pot. I wondered if I gave it a light score with a sharp knife if that would initiate growth? Please advise?

Hi-- quick question. So if my leaves on my dracaena are splitting... The only thing I should do is monitor the water and move it to an area that it wouldn't be touched so often? Is there anything else I should do?

Hi thank you! What do you mean with “bright indirect light?

I put Leaf Shine on my Corn plant and the leaves have yellow spots on every leaf except for the new growth on the very top. I washed it with a wet rag but now I don't what to do.

How do you mean leaf splitting…like the leaves split in half?? You show a striped leaf,is that splitting? Because mine is what i thought was like a variegated type..its dark green with white/yellow stripes…its healthy…or is it not variegated?

👍🏾

What do you plant it in? Mine came with tiny pebbles that I was instructed to add water to. There was no mention of using soil.

Hi, is it normal for the original trunk to start to get cloudy over time? When I bought my plant it was green but now 2 years after it is starting to get cloudy. The Branch attached is still bright green!

Do you need to fertilize plants or it’s ok to just give them water ? If you need to how often ???

hey any information on the dracaena mottle disease?

There is a yellow and brown spot in the middle of the leaf of my plant , how do I fix it without cutting it off?

Thank you, is my second winter with mines, and I hate it because now winter is here and all the beautiful leaf that grow over the summer is slowly turning yellow.. 😢😢

How do yo trim the leaves on this plant?

My happy plant is just one tall thin stem with lots of leaves all the way to the top - about 6 feet tall - she leans against a wall and has a brick at her base to keep her upright. There’s barely any bark on her base and I’ve been growing her from a tiny little sapling for about 5 years. I’m realizing maybe I should have cut it to develop a stem? What should I do?

How and when do you propagate this plant? Do i just cut the trunk in half??

My happy plant started dying two weeks after I got it. The center of where the leaves join or grow were black and the leaves eventually dropped. I have chopped one the branch which no more leaves.

I noticed the leaves suddenly.drooped down. What is the cause of this?

I have three of these trees one of them is growing extremely well another one does not have any leaves on it at all it's just a stump and the other one my third one is about to be just a stump I don't know what I'm doing wrong with it I'm watering it good I'm making sure that all the water dries up before a water again I'm giving it sunlight I don't really know what I'm doing wrong with it but if it's just a stump will the leaves grow back on it I checked the roots on the bottom they're perfect there's just no leaves on one of them and like I said the other one is about to not have any leaves on it.

Hi, I have a small one but the leaves are droopy and has turned yellow. The others are yellow with brown tips. The base of the leaves (where it connects to the trunk) are all brown. The trunk's skin is like detaching from itself too and feels hollow. It's currently sitting beside a window but doesn't get direct sunlight. I live in an apartment and keep the temp at around 25°. I don't know what to do. I don't want it to die. T.T

My Dracaena Fragrans flowers once a year with white sticky and fragrant flowers.

I‘m finding my plant is growing leaves all on one side and leaning from the weight. I tried rotating the pot so the leaves are against the wall for a hear but it kinda made it worse. 🙁 not sure about testing out a better spot because my whole place has no direct light. It’s all low light.

Can you leave the happy plant in water will it grow in water

I trim the brown tips off but in a few days they're brown again. What should I do?

I just bought my plant today. Do I need to repot it asap?

I have one thats similar to this im pretty sure its the same, its a safe distance from my window and gets some sunrise light, its dark green with yellow streaks in the middle but the leaves are up right, but droopy and the edges are very wavy idk if that is normal, and i have brown the ends of some leaves are ripped. The soil is mostly damp bcos of watering.. I think i need to get new soil, and what kind of water should i use- im using tap water which i think is bad 😭

how to fix dracaena fragrance cold damage

When do you transplant happy plants

My Dracaena got to over 7ft tall! It started off pretty small. It's an easy plant but the leave do get dusty.

Can it survive in just water?

Why is my Happy Plant leaves going brown on tips

Does anyone know how to increase bushyness in dracaena? I just adopted one and she is on the mend. But not very full, and I wish she had more side plooms (one is growing however)

Mine has a huge flower. After 12yrs

I think this is the plant I have. It's taller than me and I'm 5'4.5". I just noticed it's blooming at the top. I never knew it could bloom. It actually scared me. All I could think of was lil shop of horrors 😂 should it have secretion drops coming from the blooming area. 🤔 I'm ready to sit it outside 😅 help

No one speaks of this plant flowering. I found out accidentally.

What fertilizer do you use?

I have three corn plants And they were doing so crappy I started giving them that extra attention And realized my green pea plants are curled around it now I used to think it was cute But I know now they were also looking for some sunlight. My corn leafs are brown and yellow to the point I either gotta cut em off completely or spray them with something I am adding fertilizer cause I forgot to put some on them :( But I see the corn growing Where its fuzzy on the top its also turning brown Help! -concerned plant Mama Thank U for ur awesome video!

What? Easy? Help? I have a huge collection of house plants including indoor and outdoor bonsai some are easy and others not. So why? Why? Does this plant evade my care. I have been doing this for ages, have killed many at the beginning then decided to get serious about hobby and actually learn. A lot of my collection are grown from propergated cuttings and a lot grew from babies. I'm totally confident to separate plants, root prune etc. BUT - I bought my beautiful happy plant at proper nursery and realised that I haven't put in the research effort because it was just so healthy. I made a mistake, taking it out one warm night in the rain. It's good for them. Mostly. Windy, he had an accident and fell and I've been so busy. Just taken out of pot separated one trunk and left two. The temperature is fine as suggested, there's absolutely no root rot, but I've got brown tips and sadly brown new leaves. Is he in shock? I usually use water boiled overnight. But haven't misted. One is healthy, one ? The other I need expert advice! I want to grow more off the trunk and save 🙏 them.

My draceana is black 😢

What causes the leafs to curl

Mine is hitting my ceiling. We call her big Shirley.

Lol I'm a Helicopter parent too! 🤣😂

the guy paid practically 40 dollars for his dracena... here in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil I paid what would be equivalent to 2 dollars in 2023
