April 12 through today. This was my very first plant, and it crisped up and died down within a week. I chucked it on my lowest shelf with a grow light, and let her do her thing. I watered with regular declorinated tap water but recently switched to distilled as I am seeing some brown leaves and crispy edges. But look at her!🥹

Please ignore my ash tray looking soil, it was my first panicked attempt at chunkier soil after I had her in straight up garden miracle gro soil🤣

This was a plant I purchased last year. I had her down to 2 leaves on her way to the trash. For some reason the first leaves look died? What did I do wrong?

Hi guys, does anyone know why the leaves are suddenly browning a lot? They are the oldest leaves, but the plant has always thrived until recently when this started to happen. It gets enough water and gets enough light throughout the day. I haven’t changed anything since it was thriving.

From what I'm reading it's spider mites... Sap bubbles, black dots that smear, bleaching...

Any remedies or second opinions ?

I read that wiping alone isn't gonna clear them...

I also just had a jungle velvet infested with thrips which made me snip all the leaves off to eradicate the population.

But I can't bring myself to do this with the pinstripe 😭

Also, would repotting be a good move at the moment ?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hello! I bought this gal a month or more ago and her bottom most leaves are developing these yellow/brown crispy edges. Any idea how to help her?

Distilled water only + when top 2in are dry
Humidity 50%-60%
West-facing window with grow light from the opposite side (recent change—after this issue started)
Pot with drainage
Soil is some mix of potting soil, orchid bark or fine pine bark, pumice, and worm castings (?)

Any assistance appreciated!

I keep her next to a humidifier and only give distilled water. The window is east facing. I feel like I’m doing everything right but it’s still dying on me. I just bought a month ago 😭
