Cat-Damaged Mass Cane: Recovery If Roots OK

Kittens climbed mass cane (Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana'), stripped leaves. Bark healthy, no leaves.

Prognosis

If roots healthy (proper water, not used as litter) + bark intact → new growth will emerge slowly.
No pruning or repotting—both could harm.
Patience. May take months.

Protect future plants—cats love grassy leaves.
