I've had this plant for a while in other countries, and it was always very easy going. But after the last time I moved the sapling I took with me has started struggling.

The picture is not a perfect illustration, but you can see new leaves coming out turning black in the ends, and eventually drying out and dying. This already happened with a lot of leaves that I cut off, but now it's repeating itself with the new ones.

The plant has been in a relatively bright spot and I think it has received enough water that it shouldn't be the problem. The black parts are completely dead. Does anyone have any idea what can be done? :)

I'm sorry the picture is not more illustrative.

I looked it up, their internal test report says Cl^- 58mg/l. Looking around online this seems super high, but maybe thats because of the difference between chlorine and chloride?

Anyway apparently they pump it from groundwater wells and just run it through carbon filters

That sounds great! For humans anyway, maybe not so much for plants. Thanks for looking and learning me something!
