# Does anyone know the potential problem for my leaf to be doing this?…

Does anyone know the potential problem for my leaf to be doing this? Is it just getting old and dying? It has a new leaf coming too so does that mean it’s ok?

is it possible that it’s getting too much light?

Stress, Maybe the roots saturated? Does it currently get sunlight or grow light? How about humidity? Seems like a dampness issue to me.

#### Abby replied on 2024-08-12

It gets sunlight and grow light since the area it’s in doesn’t give off much sunlight at all, It doesn’t get a lot of humidity, i mist it every once in a while

Try giving it more humidity. Sometimes a cause from the grow lights is plants droop a little but I think humidity mainly.

Are you talking about the leaf being stuck?

### ElizabethF commented on 2024-08-12

If you’re talking about the leaf being stuck, it’s frequently a humidity problem. I wouldn’t advise misting your plant regularly as that can cause all sorts of fungal issues, but you may be able to take a warm, damp cloth and run it along the leaf where it is stuck to help it come out. I’ve also seen them come out on their own after some time. I had a Florida ghost leaf stuck for a week ( and it was in my cabinet with 70%+ humidity) and it eventually worked itself out.
