I got this plant from Facebook Marketplace. It was listed as Ctenanthe lubbersiana, AKA Golden Mosaic or Never Never plant. I really have no clue what’s wrong with it. My friend suspected spider mites and I did find a few little white dots on the underside of the leaves, so I picked up some neem oil and wiped all the leaves down. No matter what I do, the leaves just continue to whither and die. I’ve never had this kind of plant before - what am I doing wrong? Unsure if I’m watering enough, if it needs more direct light, or maybe being repotted in different soil? Open to any and all suggestions at this point.

    These can be sensitive to tap water, using filtered or distilled water could help with the leaf yellowing and withering. A couple questions: when was she last repotted and how much light does she receive?

      Very good to know about the water, I’ll use filtered or distilled from here on out. I have no idea when she was last repotted unfortunately, didn’t get any context from the seller. I would say it gets a medium amount of indirect light every day, a bit on the lower side. Maybe needs a new location with more sun?

    If you can find her a sunnier spot, I think that would perk her up! I try to position all my plants so the sun will touch the soil for at least a couple of hours. From my experience indirect light only won’t allow the soil to dry out enough between waterings.
