    Hello, so we have this houseplant, I can't recall the name, but I assume it's easily recognizable, it gets watered about every 2 weeks as per the stipulation, anyway there was a little one in the pot too and it suddenly and quickly died. Here's two pictures to document what happened - so, in your opinion, what happened?
    Any input is appreciated! :)

    my guess... and it's only a guess... is that it was too crowded.

    That was my first thought too, Way too many roots competing for too little room and a pot filled with roots can not hold enough water to keep the plants alive either.

    Hi blustersofwillow :-D

    Your plant looks like a Dracaena, maybe D. Janet Craig?

    Tips can turn brown for a few reasons, like over-fertilizing (fertilizer burn) hard water, wrong light, low humidity, or the soil was maybe dry for too long perhaps?
    I'm also leaning towards water....
    The side shoot that was growing with shallow roots growing closer to the surface possibly dried out and died.

    in my opinion
    the plant maybe live in a very hot place or lives in a very cold place
