Underwatering? Or are you watering with hard water
0件のいいねThere has been a little bit of a learning curve with how much water she likes. She is higher maintenance in that area than my other plants. But I think I have her routine down. I do have hard water though. I hadn’t even thought of that. Would a water conditioner help?
いいね 1件Absolutely! Tropical plants can be really sensitive to the minerals in hard water which causes brown leaves
いいね 1件I would use filtered water, at least. I have very hard water and have to even mist with filtered. Otherwise, my plants aren’t as happy. I bought a unit that attaches to my kitchen faucet that gives me filtered water on demand. I love it. And I have to use distilled water in my humidifier. Btw, do u have a humidifier? That would help. All my Alocasias are near a humidifier and I actually have one on a humidity tray.
いいね 1件I don’t have a humidifier on my plants. I have very limited space. I think I may do a humidity tray for this alo though. Just a tray with rocks and water, right?
いいね 1件Yep. That’s it!
いいね 1件This could be due to low humidity, a pebble tray would help. Yea it’s just rocks and water just make sure the plant isn’t sitting in water
いいね 1件Thanks everyone! This gives me some great things to try to help her out! She isn’t completely angry with me. She is pushing up a new leaf, but I definitely offend her somehow. So I will try to improve her water and humidity conditions!
