I’ve had this plant for a while in other countries, and it was always very easy going. But after the last time I moved the sapling I took with me has started struggling.

The picture is not a perfect illustration, but you can see new leaves coming out turning black in the ends, and eventually drying out and dying. This already happened with a lot of leaves that I cut off, but now it’s repeating itself with the new ones.

The plant has been in a relatively bright spot and I think it has received enough water that it shouldn’t be the problem. The black parts are completely dead. Does anyone have any idea what can be done? :)

I’m sorry the picture is not more illustrative.

    A few months ago - during winter, so it’s possible that I over-watered it as it’s a very different (colder and darker) climate from what I’ve kept the plant in before.

    If it’s root rot, I should just repot it and clip off any bad looking roots in the process?

    The fact that they came back looking bad again makes me wonder if this might be the case. It didn’t use to respond to under-watering like this in the past (older leaves would die), and I don’t think I have been over-watering it lately either.

      Jup :)

      You can also try to get a better draining soil mix like an ‘aroid mix’

      And of course your pot needs to have holes in the bottom
