Dragon Tree (Dracaena marginata) Soil Mold: Poor Soil + Overwatering

White furry mold on soil of newly acquired 1m Dragon Tree = poor soil (low perlite) + overwatering.

Fix

1. Spray soil surface with Lysol to kill mold.
2. Remove saucer; drain in bathtub.
3. Water only when pot feels very light (every 7–14 days).
4. No fertilizer until established.

Long-Term

Repot in spring with well-draining mix (cactus mix + extra perlite). Dragon Trees hate wet feet.
