Howdy, the Dracaena does like dry feet. And I noticed that one of mine acts like a deciduous tree in that it sheds some leaves when it gets chilly and looks really sad. But it's always fine when the days get a little longer. Def cut way back on the water during the cold season. I think they also drop leaves when they're stressed out, like after planting. I have a big tricolor that I just planted outside and it lost most of its leaves. But it's still healthy...it is probably just having a little protest
