She’s getting spots that look like she’s has had stuff poured on her but she hasn’t Ava she also has little patches of tiny black specks. Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/K-d70M9b_XPCT9hPMjrrjAHzBFH7eifnAXd0q-_Fdu4/Gi9Nd3TDSnCCPYLT8nlgHQ.webp?size=large) ## 7개의 댓글 ### Phil님이 2026-10-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. I understand your frustration. It took a long time to get my Triostar to the point of thriving. From my experience, they absolutely need high humidity. My calatheas were doing fine but the Triostar next to them still had brown leaves. I had to raise the humidifier settings to about 50 to 55%. Plus I transferred to semi hydro. Now growing too much. I need to do an upsize. Pic is current. A few brown edges because humidifier has been off a few weeks—redoing my plant space. Also try distilled or RO water. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/cvCotBxgQAuU5Z48FTkOUQ.webp?size=large) #### Belle님이 2026-10-12에 답변했습니다. So amazing!! Okay I’m super good at hydroponics but could you walk me thru making it semi-hydro, please 🙏? I have only used distilled water and I’ve got my humidity level high and that’s just due to the weather situation in FL but when it’s not so humid and rainy I’m using a humidifier. #### Phil님이 2026-10-12에 답변했습니다. Sounds like you’re doing right then. Give it more time to adjust. I babied it for months. If you decide to go semi hydro, my most difficult issue was getting all the soil off of the roots. Every week or so, I would take it out of the leca and clean up the roots. The most convenient planters for leca are from Wavyleaf. Cheaper if you buy direct. And almost forgot, I switched my plant supplements over to Growth Technologies about the same time. Available thru PlantHaul. #### KJM님이 2026-10-12에 답변했습니다. I listen to Phil since he has had such great success. I would also consider filtered water, or rainwater if you are not using it already. #### Belle님이 2026-10-12에 답변했습니다. Yeah I only use distilled water on my plants!! ### MProwler님이 2026-10-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. My trio has brown tips. Even on the newest growth. I thought it was root rot but even after getting rid of all the bad roots I still have the same issue. I have it in a self watering pot and she’s got a lot of new growth but never thought of semi hydro for it. I might have to repot her in pon. Thanks for the idea! #### Belle님이 2026-10-12에 답변했습니다. My new growth is coming in dead like it’s kinda crazy!! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
