What's wrong with my plant?

[amzz]

I'm finally giving it attention and yet the leaves are 'burning'.
What's the problem?

[trini123]

Either it is too much or too little water. My rule is about 3/4 cup of water once per week.

Amzz: Is plant in full sunlight, in a bright window? Is it overcrowded/overgrown the pot?

[indie]

amzzie, by chance that plant doh need tuh be transplanted?

[letric]

Amzz .. try talking. Prince Charles does ...

[Falcon]

'browning' (not burning) of leaves, is either due to drying out for prolonged periods, irregular overwatering/drying cycles or most commonly, the chlorine & fluorine in tap water.

[amzz]

It is in direct sunlight from morning until around 3pm. Is that a problem?
It may need thinning out but I have another single one that's experiencing the same problem.

Based on what u all have said, here's d plan:

use non chlorinated water
use less water (maybe every other day?)
threaten to through it overboard?

[vaio]

so how was the plant doing before u start to give it attention?

[trini123]

You said "use less water (maybe every other day?)"

Are you watering the plant every day? If so reminds me of "too much care killed the cat".

[amzz]

I have been watering it everyday that there is no rain.

so how was the plant doing before u start to give it attention?

the smaller one was doing fine.. this one had less brown leaves

[amzz]

ok i easing up on that
if it improves I will let allyuh know

[vaio]

[amzz]

I should have named the thread.. 'Plants I kill'

[vaio]

[Falcon]

over-watering causes yellowing of leaves; under-watering causes browning of leaves. A general rule of thumb.

[amzz]

see, this is why I cant mind plants
allyuh say that is too much water now allyuh saying is not enough

[trini123]

It's like everything else in life - you have to find that golden mean- not too much/not too little. Like the tree bears- mudda, fadda & baby. Good luck!

Amzz, suggest Sly1 ... the expert...

[Sly1]

Letric: No I am not an expert I 'tune in.' That is what Amzz needs to do and it seems she has done just that.
She has recognized that the leaves are browing, than start thinking/asking questions.

What is the name of the plant?
