Over Watered Dracaena Marginata Plant Dying

(Sorry that this is long) I watered my dracaena and it started dying and I thought it was because I watered it too soon. But I saw a video and said it might need to be repotted so I took it out of the pot and I saw that i put regular soil where the drainage hole is but is blocking it. The soil with my plant is wet at the bottom. Should I leave my plant out of the pot and let the soil dry until I can water it again? Or is it too late and I need to propagate it? Which method? Thanks 🙂

Hi,

Take your plant out of the pot. Remove all of the wet soil and allow the plant to lay out, bare root, for about 24 hours. Repot in a container, with drip holes in the bottom, that is only a few inches larger than the root ball. These plants do best in very small pots and like being root bound!!
