She’s pretty much thriving, popping out new leaves all the time, but I’m concerned about these leaves browning in big patches. I checked the bottom of the pot to see if I need to repot (nope), roots are OK. No insects or bugs. I’ve seen some of her older leaves turn brown before, one at a time. This is the first time a few of them have large brown patches. Appreciate any help or tips! 🪴 thank you!! ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Z8fhSGQ8CX4oXY39dVWUEGYaaQK6A80dFzKaQMKize8/E04qwsoeRICfuJVSlOdiLg.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Z8fhSGQ8CX4oXY39dVWUEGYaaQK6A80dFzKaQMKize8/Y6zxfH2mTpOvQSl1K3MK4g.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Z8fhSGQ8CX4oXY39dVWUEGYaaQK6A80dFzKaQMKize8/2K3KDBzhQq2qubiMl_-Rgg.webp?size=large) ## 15개의 댓글 ### Abbi님이 2025-02-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. It's only on the white spots isn't it? I'm thinking it's variegation burns and needs silica. #### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-02-26에 답변했습니다. Yep only on the white spots. I’ve never used silica on them. I’ll look into that, thank you! #### Plantgirly님이 2025-02-26에 답변했습니다. Highly recommend silica! My variegated plants never brown anymore! #### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-02-26에 답변했습니다. Good to know!! thank you ### KJM님이 2025-02-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hmmm, I'm not familiar with the use of silica but it sounds very interesting and useful. Just for your own education you can go to the website lovethatleaf.com and look for the article entitled something like the ultimate care guide for variegated indoor plants. It's quite interesting. It talks about the causes of variegation which ones are stable why the white tissues are more susceptible to Browning and so on. #### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-02-26에 답변했습니다. Will check it out! thank you ### Tiff님이 2025-02-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yes I had/have the same thing on my Ficus Teneke. I almost threw her out .. until I was reading Reddit and came across Silica as a help. I just started my journey so hopefully it helps. #### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-02-27에 답변했습니다. thank you for the tip! and good luck on your ficus too 🪴 ### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-02-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. Any brand of silica that you guys recommend? Or are they pretty much all the same? Thank you! #### Abbi님이 2025-02-27에 답변했습니다. I've had tps silica gold recommended to me #### Tiff님이 2025-02-28에 답변했습니다. I'm using TPS Silica Gold. #### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-02-28에 답변했습니다. thank you! #### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-02-28에 답변했습니다. thank you! ### Madde님이 2025-03-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hello!! I got a white princess a few months ago, she has already gotten several new leaves since then. When I got her, she came in a really thick, dense moss (in a teeeeny tiny pot) with root bound roots. I’ve repotted her in basically straight orchid bark with a few other airy materials and it’s been going good until…. I started noticing the same thing on older leaves. I’m nervous if I don’t do something, it will spread :(!! If you’ve tried silica (and seen any difference in your princess’ health I would really appreciate feedback. (I’ve used foliage pro liquid plant food a couple times although it is still winter where I live the house is generally room temp and up + a grow light lives about ten inches above the plant itself) Sorry for so much background - I would appreciate any recommendations to help my baby get better ♡ ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/IznLVESEajON6UlhaAn5RQqcdFSRbqw8ZOQmrowyBvg/tI9ELNIyQH22iLltX2cGNA.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/IznLVESEajON6UlhaAn5RQqcdFSRbqw8ZOQmrowyBvg/R5-p4cNdSGKu6yNXuN0CWQ.webp?size=large) #### CandyTC🪷님이 2025-03-06에 답변했습니다. Aww congrats on your princess, they can be so pretty and its always exciting to see new leaves unfurling. I haven’t tried silica but will let you know how it goes and if it prevents browning on the leaves. 🍃 --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
