Anyone know how to fix this? I just had to cut off some leaves that we’re looking worse for wear. Nothing seems to stop it. I tried giving the plant more light, less light; more humidity, less humidity. Any tips? Thanks

KA few questions: - What kind of potting medium is he in? Any recent repot? - Do you mist the plant? - Do the spots grow after they appear? - have you done a thorough pest check? - How long has this been going on?

1. I just use like a regular indoor plant soil, I didn’t repot it like put it in another pot, but I did take out old soil, put new soil in. 2. I’ll occasionally mist but not on regular basis; I’ve tried increasing humidity by misting and then putting a ziploc bag around plant which seemed to work but idk. 3. The spots do grow, slowly but there is a growth 4. I’ve looked, maybe not thoroughly, but I don’t see anything like crawling around or anything weird with the soil. 5. I’d say maybe the last month maybe two?

1. You could try switching to an airier, better-draining potting mix. Plants has tutorials for making “tropical soil” or you can always take the soil he’s already in and add something like an orchid bark mix to it. But he could be more vulnerable to this because soil is retaining extra water. 2. I’d stop any misting just in case droplets are providing a modus for the spots. The ziploc bag method is phenomenal for propping but I’ve never used it for this. My instinct is that this is not due to humidity levels.

A couple things I would definitely do: 1. Optimize conditions as much as possible. If there’s an opportunity for 60-75% humidity and bright indirect light then give it a shot (if you’re not already.) Conditions don’t fix problems but they help plants stay in good position to fight issues that arise. 2. If you have handled conditions with no luck, consider swapping the soil one more time, potentially to add perlite or orchid bark to the existing potting soil. Overwatering is probably the top threat to these guys. While you’re in there to swap the soil, take a peek at the roots to make sure they’re healthy. If you see root rot then cut it off. If you have to cut a lot of roots then trim foliage proportionately. 3. (Do this whether you switch the soil or not) Water with a 50% peroxide 50% water mix, either at the time of soil swap or for next watering if you don’t alter the soil. Consider alternating peroxide + water and water alone until you’ve done at least 3 peroxide treatments.
