# Ok plant mavens.. need guidance with my little neon child that I…

Ok plant mavens.. need guidance with my little neon child that I rescued from Walmart a few months back.. I can’t figure out why the tips of the leaves turn brown.. repotted.. using distilled water.. changed location from partial sun to barely sun.. less water.. more water.. maybe he just misses Walmart?? Btw I’ve cut most of tips off and these few returned

Look alike your leaves are a little sunburnt… try misting your leaves… or taking a damp paper towel and wiping the leaves down

I agree with the misting. I'm a big time mister. If I don't know what to do, I just try to think if I were a plant in a jungle, what would I want? 🤔 And that usually means a nice mist! Also, NO plant has ever wanted to go back to Walmart...ever!! 🤣

Misting the leaves will definitely help, my plants get that way too when they need more misting, idk about cleaning the leaves down though since that would increase sun intake in the plant

I’ve put him on the consequences table due to his poor choices 🥀 no friends no sunbathing.. just him and his shadow..
