Most common is under- or overwatering, and overwatering is more common than underwatering. It doesn鈥檛 look too bad right now, so I would suggest maybe backing off the water for a bit and seeing if it stabilizes. I don鈥檛 know much about what kind of potting mix this plant prefers, it looks like it鈥檚 living in garden soil? (Gorgeous leaves BTW.) #### ItchyTasty06 respondi贸 el 2024-09-02 I have it in leca right now. It hated being in soil for me. I got it back and put it in leca and it started spitting out leaves but now those spots are appearing. #### K respondi贸 el 2024-09-02 Marginal leaf tip necrosis can have a lot of causes so I鈥檒l run through a few. I鈥檓 guessing you鈥檝e already checked for pests, but spider or flat mites could contribute to this. These guys tend to prefer high humidity (60+%), so that may be a good starting point. They also like brighter light than a lot of people realize; any chance its light source/situation has changed in the last couple months? If you feel confident it鈥檚 not any of those then the next step is to look at the leca/nutrient solution. If you haven鈥檛 flushed the leca in a while that may be worth a try; this can be a sign of salt buildup. Checking pH, if you haven鈥檛 recently, is also a good idea. #### ItchyTasty06 respondi贸 el 2024-09-02 Thank you! It鈥檚 definitely not mites, I鈥檝e checked for that. The light situation, every time I have it around light it starts to get unhappy so I鈥檝e moved it away and not it gets lower light recently. I鈥檒l try putting it back in light, right now it鈥檚 getting light from a window. I鈥檒l check the PH level. Do you happen to have a keyword I can Google for more information? Seriously, thank you. I鈥檝e been fighting this damn plant for a year. 馃槱 ![Adjunto 1 de 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bxobWmXRBwAfTuGdLF9_IdbmW6pxXfhPrQM-toa6Op0/auTs5n-wT9mIdFYIr73fWA.webp?size=large) #### K respondi贸 el 2024-09-02 For light, try moving it a few feet closer to the window each week if possible. It may just need some time to adapt. What are you giving it in leca? Just water or a specific nutrient solution? Does it have drainage and a reservoir or no drainage? #### Lynda respondi贸 el 2024-09-03 I don鈥檛 know who you are, but that was such a fact filled, and, insightful return post, that I need to sit at your feet and learn about my greenies.
