Just found this brown edge to my Thai Constallation’s latest leaf. It’s soft, not crispy. Any ideas what it could be?

I was away over the weekend and watered my plants in a hurry before I left, so have a nasty feeling I could have forgotten to drain the saucer and this is the consequence, but wanted to check here in case it’s something I haven’t thought of.

I have brown spots on one too. I don't know if it's too much light but light leaves are prone to browning.

Ours did the same thing when it was overwatered

Good to know, thank you!

I just realised the heating was probably down lower than usual over the weekend, which wouldn’t have helped if it was sitting in residual water. I’ll keep an eye on it but at least it’s hopefully nothing to worry too much about 🤞☺️

You caught it early on and that helps a lot!

I follow mel\_dub1 on Instagram, and she recently shared some great info about leaf browning on variegated plants like the Thai Constellation (basically, it’s inevitable). She posts videos on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Melissa works in a greenhouse and is super knowledgeable about plant care.

Ooh thank you, I’ll look her channels up! ☺️
