Please help! Whenever my mojito plant starts pushing out a new leaf an older one starts getting like this until it just dies off. It gets a good amount of sun and water to my knowledge. I even gave it some fertilizer to see if that would stop it but no luck. Has this happened to anyone else? Please help however you can, I really want this guy to thrive ā¤ļø

Purple crunchy leaves Help! Soil is lightly damp 1-2 inches down, and lightly damp feeling from drain holes - itās got a new leaf popping up but one leaves has gone crunchy and fallen away and now another one is turning crunchy. What do I do? Another app is saying itās over watered?

Colocasia Help Please! I brought this girl home, researched how to make her happy, and sheās being a total divaš š» Which given how gorgeous she is, I should have known she would be š¤£š¤·š»āāļø Sheās usually by a warm mist humidifier (but not too close) along with multiple plants on my kitchen table, has a dimmable grow light for most of the day due to our covered deck blocking most of the southern facing sun, and Iāve actually only had to water her once (days ago, bottom watered) since I got her because she was SOAKED when I picked her up. Sheās already lost two smaller leaves, and is now working on dropping a third oneš„ŗ I put her outside yesterday morning and again this morning for some early morning indirect sun on my front porch (I moved her to better light for these pictures) and natural Southern humidity to see if it makes her happy, but alas, sheās still pissed off. What can I do to make her happy? @PlantJedi @PoisedAlbo @SensationalKoa I know yāall have happy Colocasia. @JenniB81 Help me make Mojo happy, please š©š«¶š»šæ

Overwatering? Underwatering? I just got these starters 3 days ago and I canāt quite figure out why theyāre wilting already? The soil feels moist but not wet; I watered them the first day I got them
-
Is it normal for leaves to die off so quickly? Every time this plant starts to put out a new leaf, an older leaf dies. Itās like they only last a day or two. Is this normal or do I have a very dramatic mojito? #Taro
