Mine came with trimmed off leaves, so I think even the grower had leaf issues.
In the first couple of months, I had leaf tip die back.
Then the new leaves grew out perfectly clean until one day...the ugly brown rot began.
I wish I had a picture.
It first shows up as slight indentation anywhere on the leaf, in the middle, near the tip, on the side, ...
the shape of these indentations are irregular.
then in a few days, the dark brown color sets in and the dented area (now marked brown) gets bigger and bigger. That is when I trim the leaves off.
Have you seen this kind of thing before?
I have not seen it on any plant I have ever. strange. but definitely a disease of some kind. maybe South American disease made its way to my apartment? lol
I thought about chucking the plant many times, but then I didn't see it happen for about five weeks straight, and I thought it was gone. well, now it is back again.
I'm really thinking of tossing it rather than sitting here and freaking out. lol
