It\'s looking like a goner. I would pull it out of the mix and examine the roots. Cut off the rotted parts for sure. If it is like a Ti plant you can start a new plant from a small bare stem. On my dracaena plants I\'ve kept them in the same pot they came in for the last 2 to 4 years - they become a little gangly due to being tall in a very small pot though.

Second one is an oddball (given to me by another DG member about 9 years ago in the same pot and soil) and in this photo is blooming. I think this is Gold Dust.
