The other Dracanea (dragon-tree) I don't quite know what to do with. It seems a bit better since being repotted, but is dropping more lower leaves again. I just can't seem to make it happy. Maybe it wants more sun, too.

indoors or out?
I've never put my houseplants outside for the summer. Herbs in pots, yes, houseplants no. I tried it once with an Avocado and the thing went into shock. But I noticed that my corn-plant Dracanea seems happier in the direct sun of the mudroom
and then I noticed that my neighbor across the street (from whom I got the mints) has a tall corn-plant which she puts outside all summer long. If hers is happy, mine would be too? I'm just worried about it picking up bugs, which I wouldn't want to bring back indoors. Maybe next year I'll try it.

I've heard these dragons like to remain in caves.... :P Meaning that they don't much like direct sunlight and prefer darker corners with very little filtered light. Mine hasn't dropped leaves for quite a while since putting it into said environment and is growing like CRAZY! Hope that helps.
