Hi Everyone,

I put my Dracaena marginata tree outside and the temperature got down to about 28 degrees. I do not know how long the temperature was that low but I assume 4-5 hours. All of the leaves have severely drooped and it does not look good. It has been this way for about 2 weeks now.
Is this plant a gonner or is there something that I can do?
Should I pull off all of the leaves and hope that it starts a growth spurt?

Thanks
Paul
