Dracaena Bare Stem: Unlikely to Regrow Leaves, Try Cutting Back

Jon's dracaena by window: yellow leaves on one stalk removed, now stalk completely bare. Will it produce new leaves?

Will Creed: Once a dracaena stem loses all leaves, unlikely to recover (usually root problem: repotting, overwatering, rot). Try cutting bare stem to few inches—if firm and whitish, may resprout. If soft, it's dead.
