# Hey guys, anyone knows what’s going on with my dieffenbachia? It…

Hey guys, anyone knows what’s going on with my dieffenbachia? It doesn’t matter what I do she would not grow healthy leaves and all the new ones I can see dry brown spots on the even before they fully unfold. Is not soggy and I water it proper soy I just don’t know why is not happy with me. Any tips as to what could be happening?

do you mist? brown spots on still-unfurling leaves means that the air around it is too wet. it's damage from bacteria that gets into the immature leaves when water is trapped in them, usually from misting too much.

I do but not much. I’ll try and not do that see if that does the trick. Thank you!
