Talon, I have two Dracena marginatas, and I find that theyalways like to be potted-on - so perhaps they're just making a statement - as soon as I have re-potted them, they seem to shoot up, and I got one for a trifling sum in the garden-centre because it was pot-bound and looked awful. When they're small, they are prone to shock on transplant, I've found anyway, but are made of sterner stuff as they age. I would definitely repot - why don't you try one on it's own to see what happens, perhaps they might prefer going solo?

Usually overwatering, dry air, and spider mites were the enemies to the ones I had. Finding where they grow best and leaving them there seemed best for me. I put it in the bathroom where it was more humid for at least part of the day and in say moderate filtered light (thru mini blinds) with a west exposure---the tricolor one seemed to need a tad more light to maintain the colors.
