What should I be careful with when I water my Madagascar dragon tree in different seasons, climates, and during different growing periods?

The Madagascar dragon tree loves high humidity and thrive in it. However, winter is when the humidity is low, and the indoor ones are more susceptible to wilting. Lightly mist the leaves with sprays so you can maintain the healthy growth of the plant in the spring and summer. It would also help to place the plants on trays that are filled with water and pebbles to create humidity around the Madagascar dragon tree during winter but make sure to drain the saucer afterwards.
A high-quality humidifier might also help during winter. Also, use cold water on the plants during winter as this can cause permanent damage and root shock. Allow the water to warm at room temperature before you put it on the plants. Using heating appliances can dehydrate indoor air, so you might want to add more mist.
Place the pots near it and let them absorb the mist. Use bottled distilled water whenever possible since these are sensitive to fluoride. When you notice that the tips begin to turn yellow, this is where you might want to do the light misting several times a week.
Another thing is when you're using tap water from the local supply, just let it sit overnight. This will reduce chlorine and other chemicals that might be mixed into the water. Distilled water is always the best alternative.
During the summer, be careful with overwatering. The brown tips suggest that there's not enough moisture in the air, and you should add some when the Madagascar dragon tree shows an indication that it’s thirsty.
