Hi all 💕 Really needing some guidance regarding my Thai Cons. I have had 2 of them before that I either got at Home Depot or Kroger or something..and the new growth just started to turn black and die off. These are my 2 new ones my fiance got for me recently… and they are doing the same exact thing, and my bigger one has a couple leaves that are developing black spots. What am I doing wrong?? They are located in 2 separate locations in my house, I do not think it’s related to pests or anything like that. I did notice that the cache pots they were in were airtight to the pots they sit in, so maybe lack of airflow to the pot is effecting the roots > root rot ? (Also the “crinkly”/ wavy leaves?) I haven’t taken them out to inspect the roots yet, wanted to get opinions first. *bigger one is pictured here and pics of smaller one in comments* Please help I don’t want to lose these guys 😭.

    100% root rot. from what i can tell you haven't repotted it from the coir/peat mix that it came in, #1 killer of thai cons. repot into an aroid mix asap.

      yeas of course!!! for any rot you find, cut off any wrinkly mushy or stringy roots, give it a good hose down and let it dry for a couple of hours. then into dry soil and wait a few days to water. some people recommend hydrogen peroxide rinses but others say it can damage roots, it's personal preference, i see no significant benefit to doing it compared to plants i don't give rinses

    I think the black leaves and the wrinkling is from too much sun exposure. That’s what it reminds me of. Godspeed! 💚💚

    I agree it’s root rot , the curling leaves though are due to a lack of humidity. I 100% agree that the soil they come in kills them mine almost died from it actually lol.
