# Any ideas as to what’s going on with this guy? Recently, halfway up…

_Posted by 🪴Robin🪴 on 2023-07-21_

Any ideas as to what’s going on with this guy? Recently, halfway up the stem and moving upwards, the leaves are dying. I was told it was a magnesium deficiency, so I added Epsom salts to its water. It doesn’t seem to be doing much good though. Should I be more patient or is it something else?
