April

over 1 year ago

I’ve had this plant for several years and it was doing so well then suddenly in January it started dropping a lot of leaves all at once. I’ve since trimmed off the dead ones, but I’ve noticed a few more starting to turn. It also has had at least four or five new leaves that have yet to unfurl for a while now. I thought maybe it was killing off some of the old leaves so that the new ones could open but they’re just not opening. I repotted it last year and it’s been doing well since then until now. The only things that changed lately was the amount of light due to our Christmas tree being in the window from mid November through mid January and we got an RO unit installed the end of November as well, but my other plants haven’t seemed to have a problem with the water. The RO unit even has a cartridge that puts calcium and magnesium back into the water. I’m still fertilizing & watering as usual per Planta’s schedule (I did try to extend the time between waterings a little when it started doing badly thinking that maybe due to the lower light over winter I might be overwatering it.) I also don’t understand why some of the leaves are twisting away from the light of the window. I’m at a loss right now and this was one of my favorite plants so any help or advice is much appreciated!
