Have you been fertilizing at all? Yellowing edges can be a sign of nutrient deficiency

Maybe I’m not using the right fertilizer ? 🤔

What’ve you got and how much/often?

#### Ana replied on 2023-09-12

I have the miracle Gro plant food , everytime planta tells me to do it

Also check you’re not overwatering. I know the app will sometimes tell me my plant is ready to be watered/fertilized but I’ll check the soil \& it’s still not dry enough.

I would test the Ph and go from there
