Water    Water moderately. Allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings, water about once a week. In winter, it needs less water. Overwatering can lead to root rot. If the soil stays wet for a long time, the plant may not be getting enough light or may be planted in an unsuitable substrate.

Common problems and solutions

1. Drooping leaves – Most often caused by improper watering. The plant may be under- or overwatered. Check the soil and water if dry, or inspect the roots for rot if the soil is still wet.
2. Yellowing of lower leaves – A natural aging process. Occasional leaf drop is normal. If it happens frequently, the plant may lack light or nutrients. Move it to a brighter spot or fertilize with a mild fertilizer. Check that the roots are healthy.
3. Leggy growth – The plant is not getting enough light. Move it to a brighter location and rotate it occasionally for more even growth.
4. Pests – Thrips and mealybugs are especially fond of this plant. Leaves may appear misshapen or discolored, sometimes with a silvery sheen or brown spots. Try washing the leaves and using neem oil.
