My mini is struggling. After day 1 he had sunburn on one leaf. So I moved him out of the window and onto the tv stand, no direct Sun rays hitting him. But he’s getting more spots! The new leaf that unfurled is already getting a brown tip. What can I do? Does he need to be in a shadier room?

Brown tips are usually a humidity problem! You can try moving him to a place with a higher humidity(kitchen or bathroom with enough light), or invest in a humidifier.

Thank you!! Does the humidifier have to be anything fancy or specific? I know I saw some in the $5 bin at target the other day. Knew I should have grabbed it.
