- Brown Leaf Edges: Often caused by low humidity or exposure to cold drafts. Increase humidity levels and keep the plant away from cold air.
- Pests: Watch for spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil, and regularly inspect the plant.
- Leaf Drop: Sudden changes in light, temperature, or watering can cause leaf drop. Keep the plant in a stable environment and avoid abrupt changes.
