Does anyone know why the pink leaf only is turning brown? First the pink faded then started going brown. Is this part of the cycle, or something wrong? Thanks!

Hey! Variegated leaves are more sensitive than the rest! i’ve had this issue with my pink princess due to her growlight being too harsh, it made the pink fade soooo much, try moving it to a spot with medium indirect light!

Could also be overwatering. That’s not the only leaf that looks brown at the edges in the picture. Two leaves on the left and that small stub in the middle showing signs of possible watering issue. Check your roots for rot (mushy, smelly). Check for very wet soil or roots in standing water.

It is dry as a bone when I water it. Has good draining soil.
