Browning on leaves

I’m not sure why this plants leaves are browning like this. I keep it watered and it’s not in direct light. Any advice? #GoldenMosaicPlant
6ft to light, indirect
5” pot with drainage

@GoldenJothos Your Golden Mosaic Plant is showing brown spots most likely due to low humidity, inconsistent watering, or minerals in tap water. It prefers bright, indirect light, lightly moist (but not soggy) soil, and filtered or distilled water if possible. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again, and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water. Boosting humidity with a pebble tray or humidifier can really help, and gently wiping the leaves keeps them healthy and able to absorb light better. With steady care, it’ll perk up and grow beautifully.
@JungleDreamer Ahhh. Humidity is probably the issue since I live in a dessert. I may need to move it upstairs with my calathea near the humidifier. Thanks!
@GoldenJothos you need backups, try these low-lift tricks too Pebble tray under the pot (just water + stones = mini humidity zone) Group plants together they share moisture like roomies Place a bowl of water nearby simple but it works Or even hang a wet towel near a heat source if you’re in a pinch! Golden Mosaic plants are basically divas for humidity
