Light     It thrives best in a bright spot with indirect light. It also tolerates direct light and darker corners, making it very adaptable to different 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 a long time, the plant may not be getting enough light or may be planted in an unsuitable substrate.

2. Soft rhizomes in the soil – The plant has most likely been overwatered, causing root rot. Remove any rotten parts and repot in well aerated soil mix.
3. Pests -  not very common. As a preventive, you can treat the plant with neem oil.
