Do you use tap water? Might be pushing out salts/minerals through the leaves.

It could be. Or it can also be the water. Take a ramp paper towel and very gently clean each leaf . hopefully that helps .

I wish I had an answer but I’m experiencing the same issue with my mint leaves 🥺. Hopefully someone’s able to offer a helpful response!

@S.ham13 Yes, I do! Good catch. Getting a filter this weekend so I’ll see if that makes a difference!!

@GoldRye @WildFairymoss Some say if you leave tap water out over night, a lot of what the plants don’t like will evaporate, but also have heard it doesn’t evaporate completely. I try to collect rain water for my super picky plants when I have the opportunity- otherwise I try to keep a gallon of distilled water on hand. Good luck to y’all!
