Why is this Swiss cheese plant leaves, Turning Brown at the edges, While growing a new leaf…? What advice do you have to prevent this to happen? I can’t put a humidifier in the room because there is a piano. Do you have other advice to prevent the leaves from turning brown like this?
Ngl mines try to do the same thing i cut that one off and put the plant in a jar of water lol it’s been thriving ever since new roots and all and the other leaves look happier too
1 gilla This one is technically in water, in a mix of leca and perlite. It was in water and it was doing the same, I trimmed the yellow, got rid of the yellow leaves and add it leca and the perlite, and is still doing it …
0 gillningar Oh yea mines is just plain water im scared to put it in soil 😩i also have a vaporizer next to it for the steam
0 gillningar Might not like the soil too …could be a number of things I’m learning along the way

Mine usually only does that if it's being over watered but they do lose leaves sometimes. The thing to realize is that that like to climb and grow gigantic so in the grand scheme of things losing one leaf isn't bad. Definitely let the soil dry pretty thoroughly before even considering giving water. every time. Your pot has drainage right? And then consider giving it coir poles to climb up. Here's a picture of mine for reference
This one is growing hydroponically (in a mix of water, leca and perlite).
Your plant is soooo beautiful! Does it have a name?

Mine was doing the same thing until I messed with my humidity
1 gilla What did you do? I think it has to do with the humidity.
0 gillningar If im honest im still seeing the effects and feeling it out, but I bought a tiny humidity moniter and started running my humidifier more often getting it around 65%+ for the humidity. TLDR cut any leaves burnt past 65% of the whole leaf to encourage new growth and to focus energy onto healthy leaves, while increasing humidity and monitoring. Only concern on my end would be the difference in potting medium we used.
1 gilla So sorry to spam just one last thought lol, I'd recommend a little support stake for them as well, monstera style
1 gilla No need to apologize! I appreciate your answers!
0 gillningar Lol mine is named Aria. I wonder if the no drainage makes it soggy? I know they like to dry out. It will want something to climb soon too 😸
1 gilla Im afraid if I switch her she’s gonna get stressed. I read in this season is best to not repot them, and water them less 🥺
1 gilla I hear you. It depends which is most stressful. But maybe just letting her dry out and just spritzing the roots. It probably isn't too late to repot if it gets really upset but from my experience they are really resilient and can suffer for years and then when you give them what they want they go crazy! Mine loves her gigantic pot but I have to be very careful not too over water and give her space
