    These are super fussy, need consistent watering and not too much, specific humidity needs, can’t be in drafty areas. Even after checking for root rot and repotting thinking I did everything right, she died on me! I’m sorry someone let you get this as a new plant owner. I killed mine so fast! Good luck 🥲 I’d wait until the soil dries about an inch or so deep then water and keep track of water times and maybe that’ll do the trick. 🤞

      Almost looks like sunburnt, if it gets direct sunlight, move it away from the sun

    Sunburn and or not enough humidity. These are tough for experienced plant parents so it’s not you… theses are picky divas.

    They’re definitely super fussy. I agree it looks like it’s too close to the light (or in a window that’s intensifying) but could be watering issues. I ended up using a very thin layer of very small grade pea gravel on mine to equalize moisture in the soil. Had a bit of this, at first, but she’s very happy now. Don’t give up.

    Some crispy ends can also be due to unfiltered water. If you’re using tap water, that tends to have a lot more chlorine or other treatment chemicals. By setting a watering can out for 24 hours, you’ll let the chlorine evaporate out completely (what I do). Or you can boil water and let it cool to distill it even more and be safer for plants 👍

      Good point! Distilled only (or rain)
