Mr. Peacock has these brown edges and tips to his leaves. It’s not dry and crunchy, rather more leathery, if that makes any sense. I had read somewhere that it could be potassium deficiency, so I tucked a piece of banana peel in his dirt, but haven’t seen a great difference. Should I trim the leaves itself? Should I prune those leaves? Repot?
