Reviving a Declining Dracaena Spike Plant Indoors

Dracaena spike plant grew fast last summer, brought inside for fall/winter. Was doing great, then a month ago spikes turned brown and died—down from 50 to 5 leaves. Watered, kept near light. What happened? Can I save it?

Nutrient Deficiency Likely

If light and water are adequate, it's likely a mineral/nutrient deficiency after months in the same pot. Buy liquid houseplant fertilizer (Walmart/Kmart), follow directions. Dracaenas need periodic feeding. Also check for root binding—repot if roots circle the pot. With fertilizer and possibly fresh soil, it should recover.
