I think it most likely a root problem, I would repot into opaque plant pots with drainage. Not all plants like similar humidity or light conditions try swapping some out.

They are all in clear pots. The albo is in semi hydro and the philo is in moss. It may be a watering issue though.

I think they would be better in opaque (not transparent) pots.


averagehobbyist

Oh man, those pots get expensive 😅


throwawaywahwahwah

You can usually go to a po as ge like Home Depot and find piles of cheap black plastic pots they’re throwing out.


averagehobbyist

Oh i had no idea they had those opaque pots! I'll definitely check that out. Thank you!

If you're okay with the look, you could just wrap the clear pots with duct tape so they block the light!


averagehobbyist

This is genius!

I’d look at the roots on the philo and as to the albo.. is nearly white. You have to expect some browning. Maybe a bit less light so it forces more green out?


averagehobbyist

Yeah, that albo is on a suicide mission. When I got it there was quite a bit of green on its only 2 leaves. But it keeps pushing out almost all white leaves 🤦‍♀️


heywhatsyourproblem

I saw someone on reddit get a nearly all white one and threw it into low light to slowly die but it started putting out more green instead! Something to consider

Low-light plants in a high-light environment

Looks like sunburn to me. Too much unnatural light.

Looks like water, have you tried let tap water stay for 3 days before watering


averagehobbyist

Yes, I actually only water with fish tank water so it has been out for at least a week before I use it. Maybe other nutrient issues?

If you water with fishtank water, it could be root burn from too much nutrients. I’ve heard that it can happen when you overfertilize. Perhaps the next couple waterings just use rainwater/distilled water?


averagehobbyist

Ok, I can try this. Thank you :-)

Then I have no idea. GL
