Hallo Leute, ich habe vor etwa drei Monaten einen Drachenbaum gekauft und er wirft ständig Blätter ab, nachdem sie braun geworden sind. Ich habe den Rat befolgt, es nur zu gießen, wenn der Mutterboden trocken ist und es nicht viel Licht bekommt, was meiner Meinung nach in Ordnung ist. Aber jetzt mache ich mir Sorgen, dass es nicht klappt, wenn ich nichts unternehme. Irgendwelche Tipps, wie ich weiteren Blattverlust verhindern und meinen Baum vor dem möglichen Untergang bewahren kann?

It looks like your plant may be overwatered and light starved. Let the soil dry out completely before watering it again, and if you can place the tree in a brighter spot. Dragon trees can handle some direct morning or evening sunlight, but bright indirect light is great too.
You should also definitely check the roots for root rot. Root rot is black and rotten-smelling and will need to be pruned from the root system. Good luck! Your soil mix looks good so hopefully this plant can make a full recovery.
Some leaf drop as plant ages is normal, but in this case i believe your *Dracaena* is suffering from lack of light and is kept bit too moist. Let it dry out between waterings and offer more light.
I think you misunderstood the advice or it was just terrible advice(pretty common in this sub tbh).
The top layer of soil will dry out a lot faster and is NOT an indicator of when to water.
These can survive in pretty dark conditions(although a lot less bushy then in full sunlight). However they are really susceptible to rootrot when overwatered.
Only water then the soil at the rootsection is dry(3-4cms deep just prod your finger in)
They will shed their leafs in order to grow upwards, if it doesn’t get enough sunlight this process will go faster. The plant thinks it needs to outcompete other plants hogging all his sunlight.
