These are super fussy, need consistent watering and not too much, specific humidity needs, canāt be in drafty areas. Even after checking for root rot and repotting thinking I did everything right, she died on me! Iām sorry someone let you get this as a new plant owner. I killed mine so fast! Good luck š„² Iād wait until the soil dries about an inch or so deep then water and keep track of water times and maybe thatāll do the trick. š¤
1 gillaAlmost looks like sunburnt, if it gets direct sunlight, move it away from the sun
1 gillaSunburn and or not enough humidity. These are tough for experienced plant parents so itās not you⦠theses are picky divas.
1 gillaTheyāre definitely super fussy. I agree it looks like itās too close to the light (or in a window thatās 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 sheās very happy now. Donāt give up.
0 gillningarSome crispy ends can also be due to unfiltered water. If youāre using tap water, that tends to have a lot more chlorine or other treatment chemicals. By setting a watering can out for 24 hours, youāll 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 š
