All the tips on my plant look the same is it normal for them to look “dried” up like this. I water them only when the dirt is dry so about once every week or two. And it stands in direct sunlight.
I know it’s not gonna be healthy for the plant, but it looks like I’m going by to get a beautiful full white leaf from my white knight. I’m so excited and checking it daily 🥹 I’ll post when fully opened if people are interested!
