What is happening with my Escargot? I started noticing these brown/shriveled spots a week or two ago and they seem to be spreading.

What is your watering frequency? Are you watering when it just starts to droop? My frequency is every 3 days. The dry leaf edges could be because it is too dry. It may need some humidity. I have a pan of glass hems underneath mine with water to add humidity.

I have some brown edge’s myself. I am also fertilizing with each watering using Jacks Classic 20-20-20 at 1/4 teaspoon per gallon.

Also make sure it is not a Princess of Hanover. They are sold in box stores as Escargots but they are different. I am having a hard time with that one.
