Light    It feels best in a bright space with indirect light. It also tolerates direct light and darker corners well, making it a very adaptable plant when it comes to lighting conditions.

Water    Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, the plant requires less water. Overwatering can quickly lead to root rot. If the soil stays wet for an extended period, the plant may not be getting enough light or may be planted in an unsuitable substrate.

Common problems and solutions

1. Brown leaf tips – Most often caused by dry air. This is quite common and normal for this plant and can be difficult to prevent.
2. Soft leaves – The plant has most likely been overwatered. Reduce watering and check the condition of the roots; repot if necessary. When watering, avoid getting the leaves wet, as this can quickly lead to rot.
3. Pests – Mealybugs are particularly fond of this plant. Leaves may appear unusually shaped or discolored, sometimes with brown spots and white fuzzy pests. Try washing the leaves and treating the plant with neem oil.

Pro tip     Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage more even growth.
