I believe my plant is a Persian Shield, but it lost a lot of the purple color and has become really crunchy. It’s one of my newer plants and I’m not sure why it’s doing this and why it’s losing color. This all started happening about 3 months ago but recently started getting crunchy and browning on the edges. Help!!!
