Keep the compost moist with rainwater or distilled water from spring to autumn; allow the top of the compost to dry out between waterings in winter. Mist daily with tepid water and set on a tray of damp pebbles, or install a humidifier |
ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
