Some have said that using silica strengthens the plant and helps the variegation last longer. #### Kiley ha respondido el 2024-05-08 Interesting. I have heard that, and so there’s not really a way to avoid it from happening or sounds, but maybe prolong it!! Thanks! #### Bella56 ha respondido el 2024-05-08 No problem, happy to help ### StringofMonsteras a commenté le 2024-05-10 You can cut the browning parts off and it will be just fine! #### Kiley ha respondido el 2024-05-10 Ok! Thank you!! It’s so pretty I wish I could prevent it! ### StringofMonsteras a commenté le 2024-05-10 Yeah! ### StringofMonsteras a commenté le 2024-05-10 It’s the hardest thing about these plants! What we buy them for is what we get sad for! #### Kiley ha respondido el 2024-05-11 Right! Lol --- _La communauté Planta (https://getplanta.com). La lecture est ouverte à tous.
