| Posted by terrafirma (NE. FL. - Zone 9a) on Sep 8, 2014 12:15 PM I have been experiencing browning of the tips in excess with this plant. A possible susceptibility to the chlorine, fluorides, etc., in regular tap water if not allowed to sit overnight, or 24 hours. Seems to prefer purified (not distilled) water.
