headshake Reviewed by headshake on . Plant Dying!!! Brown spots Hi I have a young plant which is 4 weeks old and is grown in normals everyday compost in my conservatory which does not normally get very hot, when it does I move it outside. I water it with normal tap water every couple of days making sure the soil is not too wet (with no nutrients), but for some reason the lower leaves have brown spots appearing on them which then consume the whole leaf, and then wilts downwards and dies. This then happens to the leaves above and so on until the plant dies Rating: 5
