Natural leaf aging

What's happening

Dragon Trees naturally shed their oldest, lowest leaves as they grow taller, which is exactly how they develop their bare, palm-like trunks. If only one or two of the lowest leaves are yellowing and the crown of growth on top looks lush and green, nothing is wrong.

How to fix it

Gently pull or snip the spent leaf off the trunk if you like the tidier look, and carry on with your normal care. Just keep an eye out that the yellowing stays limited to the oldest leaves and doesn't start moving up into the healthy crown.

This is general guidance based on common symptoms; individual plants vary.
