What does the rest of the plant look like?

#### plant addiction replied on 2023-12-07

i haven’t got a picture at the moment but all the leaves are like the one on the right, there’s only about 4 leaves, it’s small

If the others are healthy and there aren’t any pests I wouldn’t worry about it because it could be a number of things. I would also mention these plants do NOT like tap water. I learned that the hard way lol. They are gorgeous though

Probably the worst advice I’ve seen on Planta.

Whatever is happening to your plant, if you “don’t worry about it” it’s going to get worse.

You likely overwatered it. If that’s the case and you don’t fix anything the plant will die extremely quick

Leaves turn brown and if you get upset over every single one you’ll be a nervous wreck
