Overall, my white fusion has been pretty happy. But lately I’ve noticed a few leaves like this fading yellow. Any idea what this could be?

Overwatering or under-watering it could also be getting to much sun I would check those roots though

#### Zack replied on 2025-06-11

Roots look good. I also haven’t changed its spot since getting it back in March so it’s getting the same amount of sunlight as it usually gets. I guess it’s a watering issue. If I understand correctly, these plants don’t want to dry out, but don’t want to be soggy, correct?

#### LeafyGreenhouse replied on 2025-06-11

Yes correct just make sure it drys out almost fully before watering again

You’re right! Are you using distilled or rain water?

#### LeafyGreenhouse replied on 2025-06-11

I use distilled

#### Zack replied on 2025-06-11

Originally I used tap water and once I started to see the faint spots of yellow I switched to distilled but the yellow keeps coming in.

Aside from the yellow leaf it looks like you have evidence of spider mite damage. Overall this plant is known for being fussy and high maintenance
