Dracaena 'Janet Craig' Cold Damage: Blackened Leaves from Delivery Chill

Diagnosis

Blackened leaves = cold exposure below 60°F, likely during delivery. Tropical plant—no cold tolerance.

Recovery

• Trim off cold-damaged leaves (won't recover).
• If exposure brief, roots insulated by soil/pot should survive.
• New healthy growth will emerge eventually.
