My Persian shield has been experiencing some issues (Images 1-3). The leaves are dying pretty commonly, and I think it’d be fine if it was the bottom, but the bigger leaves are dying too. I moved into my dorm recently and I suspect maybe it’s just too cold? Slide 4 is from the top, which looks pretty good, but any tips? 🪴

I’m going to follow this post because I need tips also. Just acquired a cutting two days ago at a plant fair. It was a new plant to me. I immediately put it leca to grow it semi hydro. I read it’s very finicky and needs high humidity.

Yeah I’ll probably try doing something with humidity - but one plus is it’ll DEFINITELY let you know when it needs water - the top and whole thing basically droops and gets limp, but it’ll prop right back like 20 minutes after being watered
