Q.My Madagascar Dragon Tree Is Losing Leaves From Center Stalk

Zone 84721 | Anonymous added on February 12, 2023 | Answered

11 yr old plant. Green strong stem, new leaves blooming on all stalks,the center leaves turn soft and yellow in the center of the stalk. I do use tap water and its hard water? This plant was for my husbands sister from her funeral. It’s VERY important I keep it alive. Just noticed drainage holes were clogged with hard water residue. Soil is moisture control, no fertilizer ever. Re potted 4 years ago. Can I re pot now with new soil? Please please help!!!

It probably does need repotting in well draining soil and a clean container with well draining soil. These articles should help:
