I grow the plant but haven't seen this problem. I did asearch on the achieves and found nothing. Is this related tohumidity? Dry soil?

From: "Weaver, Bill" <bill.weaver at hp.com> on 2009.08.10 at 08:15:19(19679) I have seen this trying to grow titanum outdoors in a low homidity area. The edges of the leaves got brown and crispy. It stopped when I put the plant into a humid greenhouse.

From: Theodore Held <oppenhauser2001 at gmail.com> on 2009.08.10 at 19:26:37(19685) Steve, It would help if we had a more precise description of his dry spots. Here are some questions: 1. Are there other aroids nearby and, if so, do they also have dry spots? 2. Is a dry spot dead, meaning fragile and crispy in texture? 3. Are we speaking, on the other hand, of dried salts on leaves that are not rinsed away with watering? 4. Are the dry spots yellowed? Brown? 5. Is your gentleman an otherwise good plantsman?
