# Hi everyone! I got this plant about 2 weeks ago, it was perfectly…

_Gepostet von Jess am 2024-12-19_

Hi everyone! I got this plant about 2 weeks ago, it was perfectly healthy when I got it. Since the tips of the plants have got these brown patches, any advice on why these have happened and how to stop it from spreading? It’s about 6feet from the window in full light. But I do live in the UK so currently not loads of light and chilly. It’s also not near any heater nor AC  
Thanks!!

Chlorophyll is what makes a plant green, it is also the chemical that allows a plant to photosynthesise. Variegated portions of plants don’t receive any sunlight due to the lack of chlorophyll. There’s not much you can do to stop this, maybe brighter light. It usually doesn’t always happen so don’t feel upset

That’s a shame but thank you for the help

I generally stick to Thai constellations as they have less variegated parts, but an albo is still doable

You can supplement with silica to help this. It might also be humidity issue, since it's mostly tips.

Thank you! Is this something you put in the water when watering?

Yes.
