So I got this varigated raphidaphora tetrasperma and the tips are now browning. Anyone have any idea? ls it insufficient watering? Or, not enough humidity? I use a skewer to check if it needs water. I dont let it dry out completely nor do I drench it. Any ideas, please help. Thank you in advanced. 🌿

If it’s only the white portions, it’s because of insufficient light exposure. Variegated plants have increased light requirements due to having less chlorophyll. If these needs are not met, the plant will senesce the white portions to transport the nutrients there to new growth and the root system. If you increase light exposure enough, that will halt this process. Best of luck! 💚
Try using silica when you water. It’ll help keep the white longer.
