@parfittsplants I haven’t checked the roots for any rot, the plan is located about 6-5feet from a heater and I keep it usually around 70-73 degrees in the room the plant is located I also have a humidifier going throughout the days for about 6-8 hours throughout the day and the plant is about 8feet away from the humidifier
@FitBrowallia thanks for helping out! @WillPlanera4 @GrowMyPretties @parfittsplants Sorry I didn’t see this until now. Is this the only leaf affected? Is it one of the lower/older leaves? From what I can tell of this picture it does appear to be a fungal infection. A yellow leading edge leaving behind dead tissue is a good indicator. Fungal infections are more likely to take hold in dim or low light conditions because light=food. It’s like when we’re more likely to get sick if we haven’t been eating very well.
So, up the light 💡 ☀️ I’ve been able to stop fungal infections in their tracks by putting plants under good grow lights, making sure I’m giving them silica, calcium, and magnesium in their fertilizer and treating with a fungicide. You can use a heavy duty one if you’re comfortable, I just go au naturel by spraying thoroughly with
-1/2 Tablespoon peppermint castile soap
-1/2 Tablespoon tea tree castile soap
-4 cups water
I spray roughly 1-2 times per week until I see the yellow leading edge turn black or brown. Which I understand means the fungus has died. I trim off the fungal parts, although that might be tricky in your case with where they are located. I just try to leave as much green as possible so it can gather more food for itself. 🌿

@DreamMachine there was another leaf infected that I trimmed off and it is one of the lower leaves infected. The rest of the leaves look fine as of right now. I will look into using a fungicide spray solution because it seems to be getting worse, along with giving it better lighting! Thank you for your help!!
