Brown leaves
Question from
Some of my plant's leaves have dark brown, very dry areas on them but the rest of the plant seems healthy. I have repotted it and it is on my kitchen shelf opposite the window. I have only just acquired this plant and am not sure how long it has been like this. Can you help please.
