# Why is this leaf on my Amazonian elephant ear plant turning brown and…

Why is this leaf on my Amazonian elephant ear plant turning brown and crispy? And it looks like the new leaf isn’t really unfolding well. Is it too much sun? Too little sun? It gets bright indirect light from a south facing window and I wait for the top two inches of the soil to dry first before watering.

Let it dry out more before watering i had to learn the hard way and cut a lot of leaves off of mine. Also check the roots.

Thank you! I actually just watered it because the soil was bone dry so I’ll wait even longer until the next one
