# Hi there! Please help! My Stromanthe started to have these dry spots…

Hi there! Please help! My Stromanthe started to have these dry spots and tips on the leaves. Is it overwatering? I noticed the soil isn’t really getting dry and I don’t water it too often, as the app suggests

This plant needs super high humidity. Unless you have it in a terrarium or green house, it’s going to get crunchy leaves unfortunately.

Ah I see. Thanks for letting me know, I did recently forget to turn on the humidifier for it 🥲 will try then

Mine is in a cabinet with 60% humidity snd it’s still a pain in the butt. It also throws a fit if I give it literally any water other than distilled and even then it hates me. 🙃

Omg what a plant 🙄

How much light is it getting? Mine was doing the same thing, and since I don’t currently have a way to raise humidity, I just put it under a grow light and it hasn’t given me crisp in months.

Mine has grow light just for itself so I think the issue is different. It got colder recently so it might be because of the heating system of the house, it got much drier home too
