Plant Care Instructions

Common Problems and Solutions

- Brown Leaf Tips: This is often a sign of underwatering or low humidity. Increase watering slightly and ensure the plant is not exposed to dry air.
- Pests: Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Slow Growth: Insufficient light or nutrients can slow down growth. Move the plant to a brighter location and ensure regular feeding during the growing season.
