# Hello all I posted about two months ago due to my plant having brown…

_Gepostet von Joeli am 2024-04-25_

Hello all I posted about two months ago due to my plant having brown dried spots a breakage.. everyone suggested to use distilled water but it seems to be getting worse? Do I need to maybe change it to a bigger pot? Suggestions greatly appreciated please!

Plant looks good to me. Won’t ever be perfect and the brown won’t go away once it’s happened.

looks like the leaves might be crispy because of dry air rather than excess minerals. placing a humidifer nearby or the plant in a small greenhouse will be the most effective solutions but like hemlock plants said the brown won’t go away once it’s happened, adding humidity will only prevent further damage.

So I think distilled water is not the way to go because it doesn’t have any nutrients in it. I buy jugs of spring water. I think the main reason for brown tips is using tap water because of the chlorine/ fluoride, and second most common reason is lack of humidity. You could put a tray with pebbles/ marbles and water beneath it (so that it’s not sitting in water but on top of the pebbles) and then the water evaporates and increases the humidity around your plant. But overall I think it looks very happy and healthy!
