Do you mist ?

#### Nevaeh replied on 2024-07-09

Nope

### Bri commented on 2024-07-09

Only other thing I can suggest is taking a peak at the roots also may be a humidity issue. Had this problem with my monstera too hopefully someone else can chime in.

If you’re looking for a humidifier I did a bunch of research before buying and highly recommend the brand Levoitt. I got one made for large rooms.

If you’re not misting or using a humidifier it’s likely not getting enough humidity, these plants love humidity

This happened to mine and it turned out it was a mix of not enough light and too much water
