Anyone knows why the leaves on the plant are turning brown and dry? Even new leaves come out with small brown tips. Thanks!

What type of plant is it? It could be many things, too much direct light, overwatering, lack of humidity, pest or over use of fertilizer

#### Plant Parent antwoordde op 2025-09-17

It is a calathea

### bkovz reageerde op 2025-09-17

use distilled water for calatheas:) they are such a beautiful pain

#### Plant Parent antwoordde op 2025-09-17

Thanks, I do.

I had the same issues with. The 3 of them that I had even using distilled water didn’t work. Gave up battling with them when they all died. I’ll never get another calathea in my collection.

I am sorry! I am trying to prevent it from dying. It grows new leaves all the time.

Unsure if it would be the same cause, but I noticed quite a few dry and brown tips on my maranta before I got a plant cabinet. Now that she's in a more humid environment, no more brown tips!

Thank you!
