# Does anyone have an idea as to why my plants’ leaves are browning?…

_Publicado por maddy el 2024-04-13_

Does anyone have an idea as to why my plants’ leaves are browning? Could it be lack of sunlight or fresh air? or over/ under watering? i always poke the soil to see if it needs water and then water them until the soil dosnt absorb the water as quickly. also both have drainage at bottom.

Sometimes plants can be sensitive to minerals and other chemicals in tap water. It could be this. It sounds like you’re doing your due diligence to prevent an overwatering/underwatering situation

Oh no that is better than most…hmm I’m not sure what is going on with your plants…I will think about it some more

I think on your pothos plant it might just be a misformed leaf. Sometimes this just happens. What is the other plant?

#### maddy respondió el 2024-04-14
