Dracaena 'Florida Beauty' Sulking After Repotting

Repotting Stress + Low Light Mistake

Moving to a bathroom (low light) after repotting doubled the stress. The current yellowing is a delayed reaction to the bathroom, not the original spot.

Recovery Plan

  1. Return to bright north window.
  2. Be patient: 4–6 weeks for new roots to establish.
  3. Water when top ¼ of soil is dry.
  4. Pot size check: 10-inch may be too large. What was the previous pot size? How did you judge root-bound?

Long-Term

If pot is oversized, root rot risk remains. Consider down-potting if roots don't fill it.

Dracaenas sulk but recover with consistent care.
