# I have this plant and her new leaves are doing great! I've had her…

_Posted by Ava on 2023-08-10_

I have this plant and her new leaves are doing great! I've had her for a few years, my parents gave her to me when she was HUGE! Literally taller than the ceiling, and so she had a second stalk growing in so I cut the other HUGE part about 2 years ago. Her old leaves, before I really knew what I was doing (concerning plants) have been brown on the edges but her new leaves are great! Anything I can do to make them look any better?

Hi, I’ve heard the brown edges are from mineral ions in the water and it can be avoided by filtering your water that you use to water with

Ok Great! Thank you! But also, the thing is that those are the old leaves, the new leaves are fine but the old ones aren't getting better or worse, it's not effecting the plant, really, I just want it to look better.
