It keeps growing browned leaves and I feed her tap water with water conditioner to get the chlorine out (buying a water filter soon). She lives in about a 5in pot but is growing roots out of the bottom. Pot bound maybe? Growing medium is between dry and moist at the bottom. Please help! I'm going on vacation tomorrow and don't want to leave her to die 😖 ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EluacdyX6IbZzGB5mzVM82qnvnZ_6mo2kSdw4NUWgiw/v5ETyLQbSkKiPRuMjeUl_w.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EluacdyX6IbZzGB5mzVM82qnvnZ_6mo2kSdw4NUWgiw/ylczOjTPTwq_9k74GUS94A.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EluacdyX6IbZzGB5mzVM82qnvnZ_6mo2kSdw4NUWgiw/6KyMmBsqSjuFPziOgbn9sg.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EluacdyX6IbZzGB5mzVM82qnvnZ_6mo2kSdw4NUWgiw/HgKcnx9YR7KSzOGLpNX9_g.webp?size=large) ## 10개의 댓글 ### Alyssa님이 2024-11-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. It looks like a humidity issue, dry crinkly ends are usually the classic sign. I’d try to run to Target or Walmart where they have cheap small humidifiers. That or set out bowls of water around the plant if you don’t have time and then get a humidifier once you get back. #### Magpies님이 2024-11-25에 답변했습니다. Strange. I have a humidifier and the room is set between 55-65%, but it is across the room..maybe a move closer will help? #### Alyssa님이 2024-11-25에 답변했습니다. Ahh. Okay hmm, the mystery continues lol. Yeah you could try moving it closer, it might be a bit dehydrated being pot bound too. What kind of soil do you have it in? What type of light does the plant get? And how often are you fertilizing? #### Magpies님이 2024-11-25에 답변했습니다. I haven't repotted it yet so the soil from the store is an all-purpose mix plus perlite. 4ft from a south facing window, but receives mostly afternoon sun since my computer blocks the direct light. I fertilize to plantas schedule when the soil is more dry and with very diluted all purpose miracle grow #### Alyssa님이 2024-11-25에 답변했습니다. Okay, yeah they don’t like to get too dry and don’t like direct sunlight. Hmmm I might pull back on the fertilizer and try distilled water like Lisa suggested and then repot into a slightly bigger pot. ### Lisa님이 2024-11-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. Distilled H2O will fix everything. Promise!! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/IOVKSQVY7OHUPtfeQU_7ZxDXY4Z9OWW-E9P95QFTRPE/HUCBmOeDTzihKTJwMiwpOw.webp?size=large) #### pg님이 2024-11-25에 답변했습니다. Distilled water, as Lisa said. Prayer plants don’t like the minerals in tap water, conditioned or not. ### Lisa님이 2024-11-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/IOVKSQVY7OHUPtfeQU_7ZxDXY4Z9OWW-E9P95QFTRPE/W9_2nQpZS_yZmVlrN9Wx1g.webp?size=large) ### Phil님이 2024-11-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. Not sure, but chlorine may not be the only problem. These plants are super sensitive. I use RO water on all my plants. From what I’ve read, they may be sensitive to lime and fluoride in tap water. It sounds like your humidity is fine. That probably covers the entire room. ### Phil님이 2024-11-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. Get yourself a gallon of distilled water, as suggested, before you leave. Have your plant sitter use only that on her. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
