# my alocasia leaves have brown ends, it came like this from the garden…

_Posted by freyabez on 2024-08-12_

my alocasia leaves have brown ends, it came like this from the garden centre however i'm wondering what caused this so that i can help avoid it with its new leaves it's growing (it's grown 2!) and so that i can also prevent it from spreading, so i need to snip the ends off? remove the leaves as a whole?

I often see that on my plants that aren’t getting enough humidity

thought so, i don't have a humidifier but i do spray them with a water mister multiple times a day, thinking about getting a humidifier though

I used to do that a bunch too but a lot of plants often can’t really absorb too much water through their leaves by being misted and some can even get damaged by it supposedly. I got the cutest little one on Amazon and my planes have been LOVING it! Perky and green and beautiful! Got more to place around and even them all out and I think it’s even better than one bigger one. Posting URLs is restricted but here’s the name on Amazon, $8!!  
Mini Humidifier, USB Personal Desktop Humidifier for Car, Office, Bedroom etc. Auto Shut-Off, 2 Mist Modes, Super Quiet - (BL - Black)
