AlyssaHmmm it might be sensitive to tap water, causing brown tips, I would cut the tips off first to make sure it’s not spreading down the leaf

Thank you I was thinking this as well.

Of course! If you can’t find distilled water (which is hella expensive anyways) I’d suggest using a water conditioner, best of luck!

I’ve been boiling my water and allowing it to cool. Is distilled better?

Like Dondoo said it doesn’t really remove the chlorine and fluoride in your water, I’d recommend doing a water conditioner additive to your tap water that you use to water so it’s not as expensive as distilled

Boiling removes bacteria but not other contaminants. It could actually increase content levels of some metals. Distilled is better for sensitive plants and a conditioner neutralizes them so it can just as effective.

IanChlorinated tapwater shouldn’t burn that bad and that inconsistently. How often do you water it? Looks like it’s drying out a bit. I hesitate to say that because underwatering is so hard to do!

Every 7-8 days. I notice the spoil is extremely dry. I use a moisture meter.
