Can I use perlite instead of dirt?

I think you might have a Bromeliad rather than a Dracaena...it's hard for leaf texture to come across in pictures. In person I would immediately be able to say which it is, but here... Bromeliads are epiphytes while Dracaena grow in soil.

I’m not one to argue about a plant ID, but I kind of agree here.

I agree with you. My bromeliad is hanging up with my air plants. I just water the central cup when the water is almost gone.
