Looks like they're overwatered. Are you waiting for the soil to dry between waterings?

#### Camryn replied on 2025-06-16

yes, i definitely don’t think it could possibly be overwatered if anything it’s underwatered?

#### Hayley replied on 2025-06-16

Hmmm... have you used any fertilizer recently? Sometimes mine get yellow leaf tips if I don't give them enough ferts

Looks overwatered

### Dory commented on 2025-06-16

Honestly I would give the root system a good check.

### Katherine commented on 2025-06-16

What kind of soil is it? You may need a chunkier soil mix, it looks like it’s holding a lot of water

### Tee Jay commented on 2025-06-16

Underwatering, overwatering, not enough light, or normal leaf retirement. It’s hard to know the cause without knowing the history of the plant or knowing the current conditions and care
