# Hello plant people! I’m just getting started with plants and only…

_Posted by Anne on 2025-03-08_

Hello plant people! I’m just getting started with plants and only have one, but the leaves have already started getting brown and yellow at the tips. I’ve read that it could be overwatered and lack of sunlight. So I moved it to the window for indirect sunlight and will not water for a while. My question is, should I be “pruning” the bad leaves, or wait for the plant to start thriving again?

You can prune them or pull them off. They won't re-green.
