dying dracaena plant
By Sarah1975
United Kingdom 
the plant was over watered and i found furry stuff on the top of the soil, so i repotted the plant with fresh houseplant soil, and i removed the brown leaves. everything was fine for a while and the plant seemed to pick itself up. but within the past month or so the plant has has got worse there are so many brown leaves and it looks like its dying.. can any one suggest something

Yeah I agree, the combination of overwater ring is the main cause of killing most houseplants! Sometimes removing a couple of inches of the soil and allowing it to dry out can revitalize most plants, but it may be too late

r.i.p. like I said - if you overwater it is unlikely you will get the plant to survive no matter what you do. Odd as it may seem the roots of all plants need air - if they don't get that the plant dies. OVerwatering simply drowns the plant just as you or I would drown stuck in a deep container with water over our heads. As Wink08 says more house plants are killed off by overwatering than anything else...
Moonkins looking that plant no amount of warmth is going to revive it - meantime keeping it in the house near other house plants is not a good idea as it could be infected.
