Bought this plant a while ago and put her in my room. Realizing that this was too dark of a place for her and seeing some brown spots, I moved her to our sun room. I asked for advice on Planta but the inky response I got was, “the browsing of the leaves happen after time” I don’t think this is true because of the brand new leaf that’s coming in. It’s browning too! Can someone please help me? I can’t lose her! I love her too much! TIA and have a great day! ☀️
to my understanding, white albo and variegated leaves CAN brown over time not due to anything you’ve done “wrong” but simply because the lack of chlorophyll means those leaves don’t photosynthesize as well as their green sisters! so unfortunately, this does happen. i’ve heard that adding silica fertilizer to watering helps prolong the white leaves and prevent browning; could be worth looking into!
1 like additionally, they DO enjoy brighter indirect light so I’m not sure if you moved the plant before the new growth started or not— but I think you made the right call. Indirect light, high humidity (but not misting), and careful watering with silica fertilizer will all be your friends!
