Hello all my friends πŸ‘‹πŸ½ I pray everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I keep it very quiet and simple πŸ˜‚

So a couple of mine are experiencing some issues;
I’ve been researching but I can’t figure it out:
The rest have been watered and fertilized.
The Burkin has a soft brown spot on the white leaf: google say it’s normal process that Burkin go through but I’m very skeptical, it’s not supposed to get soft as it turns dark! (Jmo)
I was only save 2 small ZZ from Lazarus, and it’s not overwatered but turning yellow: I just repotted about a week ago and there was no noticeable root rot:
Any suggestions or ides would be much appreciated #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #TheWateringHole #TheThread @princesspitstop @SuperbRaspfern #NewGrowth #ZzPlant

@Preciousplants1 I know you love your Birkin, but trust and believe, the information given to you, from all of us is accurate. I had a Potho Manjula, I hope I spelled it right, but it had several white leaves, and it always had brown dark spots on it too. The leaves, just died off, but my Potho was fine
Hello πŸ‘‹πŸΎ, my dear! The white part of your Birkin has no Chlorophyll, so it cannot photosynthesize. I believe it needs green areas on its leaves. Some of the leaves on my Birkin is like yours. But, he/she is being well! πŸ˜‰

Hi Sherri!
Quite a few of us have experienced the rotten leaf that you described.

With my Birkie the problem went away when I moved him from 1 foot under my gro light to about 5 feet underneath it.

As my apartment only has northern exposure and 4 small windows, all of my plants are under gro lights.

Also, let your Birken completely dry out between waterings and never use tap water.

Hoping this helps, dear friend πŸ™πŸ» ❀️ πŸ’• πŸ’– 😘

You can snip off that white spotted, rotten leaf as it is of no use and is dead...
@Preciousplants1

A few different angles of the same Birkie...

The lighter leaves are new leaves. It takes time for them to produce chlorophyll and will turn a darker shade of variegated leaves πŸƒ
as you can see in the photos I just took.

No worries πŸ‘ ☺️ πŸ™‚ 😊!

Hi dear Harriet!!!
@CutePolypremum Hello πŸ‘‹πŸΎ, my dear! Thanks much, for the additional information for @Preciousplants1 πŸ™Œ I see your Birkins are πŸ‘€ Fabulous!! πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‰
@aCutePolypremum As is all your plants in the photo!!
@SweetAzurebluet hi Harriet thank you, is the brown area soft on your? Oh my! That’s a beautiful one! 🀩The plant is good n healthy even got a couple of leaves uncurling; I’m just really concerned about that one. The other white ones are getting darker with the pinstripes.
@CutePolypremum hi Joanie thank you; I was thinking about just snipping the brown portion because the leaf is nice and firm except that spot: 😬

Yours are beautiful as well. Thanks again and I have a new uncurling coming from the same mother base: 😊

So I just snipped the soft part and I’m praying for the best. The rest of the leaf is firm. Thank you again πŸ™πŸ½
@SweetAzurebluet beautiful 🀩 I’m 😍 it: thank you πŸ™πŸ½
@CutePolypremum 4got i don’t use a grow light on that one!
This one is under a grow light, low light, but I see she’s to close to it.πŸ‘πŸ½ @SweetAzurebluet
@SweetAzurebluet yes ma’am they are: I appreciate you and @CutePolypremum and everyone who chimed in: Great friends here on Greg’s πŸ’•

@Preciousplants1 You’re quite welcome, my dear! 😍
@CutePolypremum love the way you have your plants set up; I got way too many windows but just not space!
@SweetAzurebluet thank you Harriet; maybe I’m just hovering 🚁a tiny bit πŸ˜‚.
I’m so new to so many plants but I see them fall in love 😻 with no intention to buy yet then end up in my home 🀣: you’re so sweet! πŸ™πŸ½ @CutePolypremum
@princesspitstop hi Heidi πŸ‘‹πŸ½long time no see: hope all is well, you’ve been with me ever since I brought Lazarus home!
Any idea why his offspring is turning so yellow πŸ™‹πŸ½β€β™€οΈ. @SuperbRaspfern looks like you’re having a ball in your new place I’m so happy for you:
@Preciousplants1

Precious Sherri!
I hope it helps...

They seem to be pretty resilient and yours should be just fine πŸ™‚.

I'll try to make a post soon.
My Tribe is taking over the place! Lol ❀️ πŸ˜†

It looks healthy!
@CutePolypremum thank you so much Joanie; I appreciate all your help and it’s always good to hear from you πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’• and yes I’m feeling better about them now πŸ‘πŸ½. I do a little rearranging and try to stop hovering lol. πŸ˜‚
