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.
Hard water can build up in the soil. There’s some plants I’ve had in the same pot for a long time where the top of the soil starts to look a little “crusty”, even though i don’t have particularly hard water. If you have a lot of lime scale, your water pH is likely high, which can make it hard for plants to pickup nutrients.
