# I need help with my arrowhead. I’m new to the plant world and I’ve…

_Posted by Ramsey Paige on 2023-10-17_

I need help with my arrowhead. I’m new to the plant world and I’ve had him for about two weeks. I put stones under him with water for humidity. I also have a humidifier. He’s still turning brown. I cut some of the brown spots off, but it’s not seeming to help. I am using tap water. Could that be it? If so, how do I fix this issue. Please advise.

This looks like it may be an alocasia, not a syngonium

Need chunky soil
