By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Sansevieria 'Superba' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Trunk was hollow, but 1 branch seemed healthy. Cut it off and put in water. Will it grow roots? Tips on getting it to root? #Dracaena

Brown Splitches and Drying Up Tops #Dracaena I recently received this plant from my workplace and I don't know anything about plant care. I don't know what these splotches are and what's happening up at the top. It looks almost like it's drying out, but the leaves are fine. It's slowly spreading. Two of the stalks already turned yellow so I went ahead and disposed of those to be safe. It was getting unfiltered water and way too much sun. I have since switched to filtered water and reduced the sunshine. However, it is still continuing. I'm at a loss at this point. I'd like this plant to survive!
