In order to determine the cause of dry ends, I turned to the forum, to the same amateur flower growers and found that drying at the tips of dracaena primarily linked:
· With dry air in a room;
· Not correct watering and locations;
· Excess of light;
· Pests;
The result was that in the summer I sprinkle flower only once a day, and the procedure should be 3-4 times.
I also do not properly watered the flower, ie, Sometimes the soil was too flooded and as a result the roots of subjected to excessive moisture putrescence, and the tips of the leaves did not obtain the required nutrients started dry.
Also on the recommendations of other owners dracaena I began to put the pot in a warm room, and looked to him did not pass through the draft, controlled temperature conditions.
Despite the fact that this plant likes bright light, but direct rays have a negative impact on him, so on the advice of others growers by setting plants on the south side, I place it within one meter from the window to the flower did not receive burns.
