The Dracaena Lisa is essentially an ideal statement floor plant: it has an elegant, statuesque form, great height and lush foliage. It’s also a surprisingly low-maintenance plant, tolerant of both low/medium indirect light and bright indirect light. With their easy-care disposition, issues with Dracaena Lisa foliage are unusual. So if you notice dry patches or streaks on the leaves of your Lisa, you may feel alarmed. Don’t worry! Although Lisa issues are rare, they’re also not hard to fix. In fact, it can be a downright breeze: just follow the simple steps below.
Too Much Direct Light
Just because you can put your plant right next to a window, does not always mean you should. Don’t get us wrong: photosynthesis is a great thing, and plants do need light. But the Dracaena Lisa, a tropical plant native to jungle climates in Southeast Africa, is not tolerant of direct, bright light. Direct sunlight can scorch its foliage- and this is classically exhibited by dry patches (often round in form) and dry streaks appearing on your Lisa’s leaves. If you notice these signs and your Lisa is near a window, it’s probably time to move it: at least three feet from the window’s direct sun rays.
Refresh Your Lisa with a Manicure
You can refresh your Dracaena Lisa’s foliage by giving it a good, overall misting and trimming and leaves that are severely affected by brown patches or streaking. Once it’s in a more dimly lit spot and away from the threat of a sunburn, you should not experience a resurgence of the dry foliage issue. Trim your Lisa’s foliage by using clean, sharp scissors or shears to cut the dry and discolored areas off, while following the direction of the leaf’s natural growth.
