Dracaena Transplant Shock: Drainage Hole Needed, Cut Rotted Stems

Your dracaena was repotted into a decorative urn without drainage holes, with rocks at the bottom. Water pools there, rotting roots. Stems turning yellow and mushy are dead—cut them off below the rot.

Fix the Pot

Drill a drainage hole in the urn. In winter, set it on a decorative tray. Let the soil dry thoroughly between waterings. The main stems may recover if rot hasn't spread.
