# I don’t know what’s wrong with my plant… at first i thought it was…

_Postat av mahogany den 2023-06-13_

I don’t know what’s wrong with my plant… at first i thought it was under watered and needed more light so i moved it into an area where it’ll get more indirect light. Then i started misting it daily my mister has a bit of peppermint oil because i use to use it for my hair, so idk if that is adding to it. Is it overwatered by any chance because i started watering it probably every 3 days since I thought it was dying but i found out they don’t need to be watered that often… im a beginner sorry guys

These guys are spider mite magnets. If you don’t see any pests, I think the peppermint oil is burning it. Misting is not really effective anyway, it is better to get a small cool mist humidifier to keep near by so the air stays at the level this plant needs. Good luck! I would not say this is a beginner plant 😬
