My Ring of Fire has this browning on 2 leaves. What is it and what’s the best thing to do? Cut them off?

Mabey your overwatering it

#### Paz replied on 2025-11-22

I’ve only watered it once about 8 days ago since I bought it in September, and it had the browning before I watered it :(

Well maybe if it continues to be browning on multiple leaves you should inspect the roots for potential rot.

Sounds like we’re living the same reality right now😂 I just can’t pin point what’s actually the problem, I’ll chop it up soon if it doesn’t sort itself out!
