Q.Dracaena Question
Hi, I’m uploading a photo of my dracaena. Recently it was blooming, which is great as it shows the plant is healthy. However at a certain point the blooming stem and flowers started falling apart on my floor etc. so I decided to cut it off (I read that this is perfectly safe and many people do it just to get rid of the flower smell anyways). The problem is that a small part of the stem still sits there, preventing the plant from growing any new leaves etc. and it’s already been 2 months. The question is – is there anything I can / should do now, should I not have cut it off in the first place? Attached are photos of the plant and the stem that remains. Thanks for any advice. Boris

They came through, now! The first thing that I notice is the container size. I'd go up a little large, unless the roots have not filled out the container, fully.
As for your stem. Eventually it will fall off. New growth should appear after it gets planting into some fresh soil.
