# Help!! I don’t know what is wrong with my plant. I know it needs…

_Geplaatst door Molly Aimée op 2024-04-05_

Help!! I don’t know what is wrong with my plant. I know it needs watered at this current moment, but it’s been acting like this for months. I’m honestly surprised that it’s still alive. I cut off some of the worst brown and yellow leaves, but it has been looking so poorly 😭😩

Are the leaves supposed to be white? Did they grow that color, or are they slowly turning white over time?

### Molly Aimée reageerde op 2024-04-05

They are not supposed to be white! It’s been just the new growth over the past few months that have been white.

#### LearningPlantMom antwoordde op 2024-04-05

It could be the leaves don’t have chlorophyll

Is it lack of sun? Or a deficiency?

Winter time is always hard to get good sun and warmth… especially with a south/west facing window. I have some grow lights in storage that I could get out to use, if you think that light is the issue

#### Gaia 🌍 antwoordde op 2024-04-05

It can be from accumulated mineral salts, lack of light or overwatering. I would check that it’s not either one of these 😊

I’m leaning toward light deficiency. Thank you!!
