# I’m having some issues with leaf drying and curling. I am seeing lots…

_Publié par Bedroom Botanist le 2025-05-06_

I’m having some issues with leaf drying and curling. I am seeing lots of new growth, repotted about a week ago but had the same issue prior to repot. It is about 8” from the led lamp, measured about 9 to 1k lumens at top of leaves. Variegation is consistent. I think I may need to mist more frequently (currently 1x per wk) but would entertain any other suggestions. No pests are present.

It needs more water. They soak up a stupid amount

Thank you. I will measure it and start increasing the frequency.

I unalived 2 before I figured out they want way more than expected 🙄

usually overwatering them is the quickest way to unalive them, that’s why I was so puzzled.
