A lot of black tipping on the small pot and one dead leaf on the bigger one but there’s always new leaves coming through, haven’t seen any on the small ones yet. Idk what I’m doing, idk how to keep it from doing this or what’s causing it.

What type of water are you using?

Tap water with liquid fertilizer.

Are you letting the water sit 24hours before using?
