Humidity being too low can cause leaves to crack or split. Most of the plant looks great especially since it’s blooming. 😍  
Only the two yellow edged leaves could indicate other issues or just older leaves dying off. It’s hard to tell.

You’ve got a great eye! Those yellow edged leaves are caused by black spot, if you can believe that! I ended up having to remove about five of her big leaves…😩! However, she is now making a great comeback with nine new baby leaves…  
🥳🤩🎉! By the way, TXS for your informative post.

You are welcome.  
Black spot would be root rot or fungal?

#### Lynda antwortete am 2025-01-14

FUNGAL… Nasty, nasty, nasty! I’ve been fighting black spot for several months now, and it’s driving me nuts; that’s not saying anything about my plants. They’re not happy either, as evidenced by my beloved Amazonian, as I call her! However, she is on the mend, and is going to be beautiful once again, with all of her nine new leaves that are coming up…🤩!

How do you fight it, Lynda. I think mine is suffering from it too then! 😔

I’ve tried several home remedies. A commercial fungicide works best for me plus letting the soil drown down more. Keeping a small fan helps with air circulation that helps dry out the soil and plant.
