Common Questions
Why are the tips turning brown?
This often happens due to low humidity or hard tap water. Try misting more often or using filtered water.
Can I grow it in low light?
It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light for short periods, though growth may slow.
How often should I repot it?
Every 1-2 years, or when roots start crowding the pot. Choose a pot just one size larger with fresh, rich soil.
