Hello!
I'm growing my first plant, and something's started to go wrong with it in the last few days. The larger leaves have gotten brown stripes between the veins, and they've curled inward and down (photos below). I grow it in soil in natural light.
I've been doing tons of research online, but I can't figure out whether the problem is caused by root rot, overwatering, or nutrient burn. The symptoms of each of these issues sound similar, as do the photos of afflicted plants.
My soil drainage is decent (probably not great), and I've poked some extra holes in the soil this weekend to help it drain better. But the problem hasn't gotten better, even as the soil has dried out. I did fertilize the plant last week, so now I think that maybe nutrient burn is the issue and I should try flushing. Or, if it's root rot, are there steps I could take to fix it?
Thanks!
