I received him for Christmas in a very healthy condition, but I do have concerns about a lot of leaves curling up and the discoloration. I changed the water once, but I’m not quite sure what to do. Help needed please!! ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/eKji_xarXgrccfn3h4m7lEwK97-YwdG1KagF1TqLqEA/U6IY3UlrSdmswqBzwWsTTg.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/eKji_xarXgrccfn3h4m7lEwK97-YwdG1KagF1TqLqEA/VXof8jmgQn-5A3H5ckDC4g.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/eKji_xarXgrccfn3h4m7lEwK97-YwdG1KagF1TqLqEA/15V5vg8oQQG_By1gUAzxFQ.webp?size=large) ## 13개의 댓글 ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-01-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Did you put in regular tap? They can be sensitive to that. #### Audrey님이 2025-01-06에 답변했습니다. I did, what should I use? #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-01-06에 답변했습니다. You can try distilled or using tap with a water conditioner like API (used for fish tanks, just not the ones with additives, just water conditioner) but a jubif Distilled from the store for $0.99 would be an easier test. ### Audrey님이 2025-01-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Update: I changed the water again and cut off some of the dead growth. Any other ideas? Could it be lack on sunlight or maybe someone else has another type of water? #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-01-06에 답변했습니다. How much light is it getting? ### Green Witch님이 2025-01-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Humidity levels could be low, I also know that those role sometimes cause their prayer plants and I’ve been told it’s normal, but yeah maybe put it closer to a window, and spray it to keep the humidity up. Mine like humidity #### Lynda님이 2025-01-06에 답변했습니다. Mine has flourished since I put it on a plant light. I also have it on a humidity tray with pebbles in it. I spritz it every time I go into the bathroom, which unfortunately, is often…(that means it gets lots of misting!🙄) ### Lynda님이 2025-01-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Audrey, I think I screwed up on my post… Please check it out; I accidentally sent it to the Green Witch… 😱! ### Audrey님이 2025-01-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thank you so much for the help! I’m going to try distilled water and spraying it to keep the humidity up. #### Lynda님이 2025-01-06에 답변했습니다. And don’t forget, if your site is low in humidity, I’d use a humidity tray. I also use a tiny humidity monitor, and found it helped to raise the humidity from anywhere between the upper 40s, to the low 50%. Good luck! ### Lynda님이 2025-01-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Audrey… I made a boo-boo; you probably already figured this out, but the tiny humidity monitor didn’t raise the humidity… L O L… 🙄…but the tray obviously did! I use these little monitors everywhere so I can keep track of what the humidity is in different areas of my house. They’re cheap, and I think really useful. I’d recommend using them both when working on your humidity issues. ### Frondsie님이 2025-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Distilled water is key. Also pour out any old water - don’t just add water. Remove your plant. Give that glass bowl a good clean with mild dish soap and rinse well. Trim off the yellow leaves. Return plant to glass vessel and fill with room temperature distilled water ### Frondsie님이 2025-03-15에 댓글을 남겼어요.
