: I have a dreacena marginata that seems to be loosing leaves too quickly. They are falling off when they are still green, from the lower parts of the smallest stalks. I have a regular weekly watering schedule, but I usually don't give it too much, and I always let it drain completely. It gets only morning sun (or fog, as the case often is in San Francisco) and inderect light the rest of the day.What can I do to help stop this problem? Thanks.

Hi Jason,

You say that you are watering weekly. Are you watering when the top inch of the soil is dry or just watering weekly? Have you looked at the plant care site I posted for others?
