Overpotted Dracaena Warneckii: Downsize Pot or Add Companion Plants

Summer's husband brought home a 1.5-foot dracaena (likely warneckii/corn plant) in a 13-inch pot. Gets ~1 hour late afternoon sun, watered weekly with standing tap water. Considered cutting and rooting top.

Expert Answer: Light is fine. Pot is far too large—most houseplants prefer being somewhat root-bound. This dracaena should be in ≤6-inch pot. Options: repot into a 6-inch pot, or add two more similar-sized plants to the 13-inch pot so three plants share the soil and use water faster. Water same as before; plant will become healthier.
