Question
i have an indoor plant called sarquina or something like that. it has long leaves green on top with a red underside and lots of stems which join into one. it likes warm water. the leaves are starting to go brown at the ends and turn yellow. i water about once a week and feed every two weeks im not sure why the leaves are dying. can you help?
ps my mother was called kittle before she was married!

Answer
Anna,

I'm not sure what plant you are talking about but the symptoms you describe are either from soil that is not draining well enough so your plant is not drying out enough before you water it again. You may need to let it go a bit longer between waterings.
It can also be caused by not enough light. Try moving it to a brighter location and the additional light may help it use up water faster also.  If it does not feel dry in a week after you move it wait a few more days before watering.
Good luck.
