Looks like calcium deposits from hard water. I would clean the leaves and filter your water or use distilled

Thank you that’s what ChatGPT told me as well! Should I trim these leaves? Just the brown parts?

#### Victoria Maddison antwoordde op 2025-06-10

I don’t think that’s necessary, just clean them up so they can photosynthesize better. I just noticed the brown spots, I would suggest checking your roots. Brown spots can be a sign of both overwatering and underwatering, but overwatering is more common. Don’t follow planta’s watering schedule to a t, just use it as a reminder to check if your plants need water and snooze when they’re still too wet. Hope this is helpful, I also always suggest watching plant care videos on YouTube because there’s lots of informative stuff over there.
