I’m a newbie here (take my advice with a grain of salt) but this looks like a disease and probably pests in the root system. Alcohol and water rinse: 1:6. A diluted hydrogen peroxide rinse may also work. You could also try propagating healthy growth…🤷🏾‍♀️ #### Abbi님이 2025-01-25에 답변했습니다. Have u done the alcohol before? I've heard of someone who left their plant sitting in alcohol by mistake and it killed it so I've never done anything like that. But that is quite diluted and if you don't leave it sitting in it a while it might be fine. #### Ava님이 2025-01-25에 답변했습니다. I’ve never used an alcohol solution because I heard that could damage the plant but if it does help regrow I’ll have to do some research #### Abbi님이 2025-01-25에 답변했습니다. I've used it for bugs, but never actually let it get on the roots. Idk, id def be cautious. It can even burn a plants leaves, but I do 1:3 and haven't had problems so far. #### CurlGyrl25님이 2025-01-26에 답변했습니다. It worked for both my Fiddle Leaf and Majesty Palm, as long as you’re using the 50%-70%. I diluted it with water 1:6, and use only as a rinse-plants will understandably die if not drained properly. Still maybe try the hydrogen peroxide \& water first. ### Abbi님이 2025-01-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. Can you send more pics of the whole plant please? #### Ava님이 2025-01-25에 답변했습니다. Of course. This is the whole plant some yellowing and browning ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/KdLXYYS-LvFVLWPXnhxa4CqbI8pYztxWV8igi-LReWM/NFfRbdm5RQ6cQ0PhT6x2BA.webp?size=large) #### Abbi님이 2025-01-25에 답변했습니다. Ok. I've never had one of these, but I think they like to dry out almost completely. Have you been checking with a chopstick or wooden skewer to see when to water? Also how much light is it getting? #### Ava님이 2025-01-26에 답변했습니다. Thanks for the response but I haven’t checked with a wooden skewer and right now I’ve just been using a desk lamp as light because it’s dark most of the time here #### Abbi님이 2025-01-26에 답변했습니다. Id suggest getting a grow light, or at least using grow bulbs in the lamp. Pry start using a skewer too. Just stick it all the way down in the pot, and wait about 5 or 10 min. When you pull it out, the skewer will be dry if it needs water. It took me a bit to get the hang of it, sometimes it was difficult to tell if the skewer was damp or just had dirt on it, so you can also stick a finger in to help give you an idea. I think you need to let this plant almost completely dry out, but I'd def recommend researching it more. One thing I have noticed tho is when lots of sites say water when the top few inches of soil are dry, you basically need to let it dry out. #### Abbi님이 2025-01-26에 답변했습니다.
