Help me unkill my plants!

[lilyboleyn]

Morning!
I grew an avocado plant from stone, but the leaves look horrendous since I repotted it.

I’ve also got a peacock plant with funny brown leaves I tried to rescue from the poorly plant section of the garden centre.

Might be two different problems, but I’m not a plant genius. But I love them - please help me unkill them.

I’ve been spraying the leaves with Houseplant Myst to try and help.

What can I do please?

Hopeful bump

Brown leaves usually a sign of overwatering. Let the soil dry out completely before watering. That might help

I can't help with the avocado plant, but that's a Calathea OP and they're fussy difficult plants even for the green-thumbed!

With Calatheas it's oven lack of humidity that causes the brown edges, or the type of spots you have could be something like minerals in the water (some of them only like rain water )

So you've picked a tricky one if you're new to it

It could be many things (including overwatering or, indeed, underwatering), have a read through here and see if anything looks a likely culprit: mylittlejungle.com/calathea-leaves-browning/

One thing that is generally accepted is that misting is pretty useless though, but if you enjoy loving on them in this way have at it

Water them infrequently with bottled water - it made a major difference to my indoor plants

Brown tips could be because the air is too dry, especially with central heating at this time of year. I have a ceramic owl (other styles are available!) that you fill with water and hook over the radiator which helps.

This sort of thing.

Oo, thanks ladies. Will definitely try humidifying.
Didn’t realise it was a tricky plant - just liked the leafiness. 😂😂
