# I've had an issue with both my Begonia Escargot and Nerve Plant…

_Pubblicato da Kris il 2025-07-17_

I've had an issue with both my Begonia Escargot and Nerve Plant having leaves with crispy brown edges, what should I do? When I first got them, I didn't have a grow light and that's when the problem started. Now they've had one for about a month or two now, the Begonia has a ton of new growth but still has crispy edges on some parts. I've been watering them per Planta's schedule, so I don't think that's part of the issue either? They're also both next to a small humidifier. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

They love humidity so i would get a humidifier. Just a cheap one. They work just the same as an expensive one.

There's a humidifier on 24/7 next to them :)

Oh. Well I'm stumped then. Sorry. I hope someone can help you.

are you letting the begonia dry out between waterings at all? The Fittonia will be the more water hungry one. The grow light could potentially be too close to the plants as well

#### Kris ha risposto il 2025-07-17

The Begonias are in a self-watering pot, so not exactly. I usually just refill it when they start to droop - I'll try moving the grow light further and see if that helps, thank you!
