Maybe too much water? Too much light could also be the cause.
@SilverKnight glad you put a picture up. It’s usually an issue with water. But picture in that bright light tends to indicate too strong direct light which can burn the leaves. One other issue I have learned with my Jerri (Spider Plant) she hates chlorine or fluorine in most tap water. I de-chlorinate the water or you can get distilled water or maybe rain water. If you don’t like the look and correct the problem, you can trim the leaves for looks and new growth will occur. Pulling for you! πŸŒ±πŸŒ±πŸ˜†πŸ’¦πŸͺ΄
Juan,
If you put tap water through a basic water filter like a Brita. Would that work to help make the water better for your plants?
@GreenPurpose trim the leaves from the bottom or just the tip alone?
@SilverKnight I’m kinda skeptical about whether leaving the green part of the leaves will continue to photosynthesis but trimming the leaves for aesthetic is what I would do. The most important thing is correcting the issue for new growth.
@SolidlyMandarin yes it will definitely help but so will leaving the water out overnight will allow the gases to released as well. I use conditioners used for aquariums.
