Dracaenas need some light, but they don’t do well in direct sun. If you’re growing the plant indoors, put it next to a window with a sheer curtain so it can get filtered sunlight. If it’s outdoors, plant it in a shady spot.

You can, as long as you live in an environment that doesn’t get too cold. If you live in a place where there are frosts in the winter, you’ll need to cover your plant or bring it inside when the weather gets frosty.

Brown tips on the ends of the leaves may indicate that your dracaena isn’t getting enough water. Put your finger into the soil about 1 inch down to make sure it doesn’t feel dry. If it does, add water.

The only thing that you can do with it is brings it indoors. Place a tub of water around it to give it some moisture. Increase the temperature of your home. With these steps, you might be able to save your cold-stricken plant.
