We’ve been following all of Planta’s guidelines re: light, watering, and fertilizer, but this plant recently developed discoloration at the leaf tips and some other spots. Welcome any and all suggestions!

What kind of water? Tap?

### plantmother ha commentato il 2024-10-21

mine has been doing this as well! I think it likes distilled

Might not be just the water. What fertilizer do you use? The spots tell me it’s damaged cells which can be from a build up of specific nutrients or fungal infection. I’d remove the damaged leaves and flush with filtered water. Neem oil can help treat fungal issues

If you’re using tap water there is a mineral or lime buildup. That happened to mine and I changed to filtered water and it’s much betrer

Also sometimes planta can make you over water if you don’t double check. It’s pretty good but any variation can adjust things to your plant. So always check the soil is dry on top and it’s well draining too

Thank you all for your suggestions!
