Dragon Plant (Dracaena) Leaf Holes: Caterpillar Damage

Brown Smudges = Insect Frass

Holes in leaves + small brown round droppings = chewing insect (caterpillar/beetle). Plant is likely outdoors.

Action

  1. Inspect thoroughly—check undersides, stems, soil.
  2. Hand-pick visible pests.
  3. Spray with ornamental-safe insecticide (ask local nursery).
  4. Move to full sun—stronger plants resist pests better.
