# Okay so I thought she was thriving. But some of her bottom leaves are…

_Posted by Fernadette on 2026-04-25_

Okay so I thought she was thriving. But some of her bottom leaves are yellowing and dying. Crispy tips. She gets good lighting, humidity is typically not an issue. I only water with rain water. There are times I may get out of routine and she gets a little dryer between watering then she’d like.  
The leaves are all older ones on the bottom, new growth all good.  
I’m just trying to check here. Does she look as healthy as I think and it’s just old leaves dying and I’m overthinking it? Is she just giving me a little maranta attitude to keep me in check with her watering? Or is this a warning of impending doom and I need to go in save the diva mode? TIA
