I have a dracaena that is about close to a foot tall. It really isn't growing any taller to me, and I repotted it about 2 weeks ago. Does that type of plant grow better when it is root bound? Also, the bottom leaves some have turned bright red, and kinda come off easily. Am I not doing something right for this plant? any advice?

I have a dracaena as well, and I have been slowly losing my bottom leaves. Some have said it's part of the growth of this plant, and suggested I plant something that stays small and low in around the stem of the dracaena. I haven't tried this yet but if it grows too tall with no leaves I will give it a try.

Also I do not water mine that much, it doesn't seem to need much moisture to grow. Try and not repot it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it likes to be root bound or not.
