Most of the plant looks decent, but I’ve had an issue with dry and brittle areas of certain leaves. And then, as you can see, there are yellowed, discolored, and dead leaves that I’ve had to remove. Wondering if anybody has had the same experience or has advice? Thanks in advance. ![Attachment 1 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zWQvueeeD-A99IANFxpLPJUsY4ALrrY-7y0iTHiL-pM/9tfLGD0iTIWoeix11DWNRg.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zWQvueeeD-A99IANFxpLPJUsY4ALrrY-7y0iTHiL-pM/JE8jSkSvQvyaLZ8oMHb8yA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zWQvueeeD-A99IANFxpLPJUsY4ALrrY-7y0iTHiL-pM/HBb7pAAkRNKTFUAbKM8ViQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 4 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zWQvueeeD-A99IANFxpLPJUsY4ALrrY-7y0iTHiL-pM/0iVBzcw2SYqrlU8JU6iQVQ.webp?size=large) ## 1 comment ### Magneticgarden\_ commented on 2025-04-13 Could be underwatering and/or inconsistent watering. --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
