Maybe I'm being an overprotective ping parent, but I have gotten a few leaves that concern me.
At first I start to see a spot developing on a leaf (always a leaf near the base of the plant), that grows at a decent pace
But the spot is transparent as it grows. It eventually starts to yellow and shrivel. I've pulled a leaf or two as this happens, but not sure if that's good/ bad to do.
It's still growing leaves and flowers readily, but whatever this is, continues.
One of the flowers' petals also seem to get limp. I've read elsewhere that the flowers live for about a week, but mine seem to last for a few. Maybe these are normal life cycles and I should just leave it alone.
The soil is 1:1 peat moss and perlite. I water it until I see a little water run into the tray, then I don't water until the tray is dry (about every other day). I'm in the midwestern us, so it's dark by 5pm. I have an LED grow light that provides light the P. Gigantum and a bunch of other plants for about 8 hours a day that sits about 4 feet above the plants. They sit about 6 inches from a northeast window. Temperature sits steady at 73-74 degrees Fahrenheit with 22-25% humidity.
Here are some photos:
Thanks in advance!
