I got this plant from target about 2 weeks ago. But the white leaves are getting brown and I havenât seen any growth yet. How can I fix it? It is under a grow light. I water about every 7 days and itâs planted in moss. (Also very sad day since the 100% white leaf did not grow bigger for a picture đ„Č) but how do I help it grow better? Also all of the bigger stem was cut when I bought it so idk if thatâs whatâs stunting the growth?
Iâd change the soil to a chunky aroid mix â I use equal parts general potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite. I also noticed the white parts get brown if they get water on them, but those parts also tend not to last as long as the green so itâs not necessarily a sign that something is wrong!
3 gillningar Thank you! Also the main stem getting cut wonât be a problem for future growth?
0 gillningar Nope, itâll just need to sprout a new stem off the previous node, so thatâll probably take a bit more time than youâre expecting but once the new stem is established it should take off!

The white parts of the leaves will naturally brown over time. Since there is no chlorophyll there making food for the plant, it puts less energy into maintaining that part of the leaf.
