Light    The plant doesn’t need much light. It will grow nicely even in a slightly darker corner or in a space without direct sunlight, which can burn its leaves.

Water   

The plant doesn’t like to dry out completely between waterings. Watering about once a week is usually enough. If the soil is still wet after a week, it may mean the plant isn’t getting enough light or the soil or pot isn’t suitable.

Common problems and solutions

1. Brown leaves – This is often a sign of low humidity or too much direct sun. Ensure proper watering and diffuse light, and move it to a more humid spot if needed.
2. Discoloration on the leaves with silvery sheen - Thrips will love to suck the life out of big plants like that. To get rid of them, you can use Neem oil.
3. Yellow leaves – Older leaves may naturally turn yellow and fall off – this is a normal part of growth. If it happens often, you can move the plant to a brighter spot. Also check the soil: it may need watering, or it may have been overwatered, causing root damage.
4. Slow growth - plant needs more light or/and fertilizer for growth.

Pro tip    Regularly remove dead leaves to encourage new, healthy growth.
