# My baby is sick and I don’t know what else to do. I repotted it three…

_Posted by Zei on 2024-06-12_

My baby is sick and I don’t know what else to do. I repotted it three weeks ago because the edges of some leaves were getting dry and leaves were drooping. I put it then in a terracotta pot with drainage. I still see more leaves drying up so I tried bottom watering but with the terracotta it was spewing soil from the 1in diameter hole in the bottom of the pot. I watered from the top some too. Then left it til the soil was dry. Today, I noticed these brown spots on the leaves. I repotted to a plastic clear pot with drainage to see the roots and continued to bottom water. What do you suggest I do from here? It’s got three new furling leaves at least but I don’t want to further damage the foliage. Help please. Thanks in advance

This looks fungal to me

Thanks

It may also be the type of water being used. Those plants are sensitive to lime/tap water.

I add .5ml plant food per gallon that I water it with. I will water with distilled water and see how it goes. Thanks so much for your input
