Help me grow!

• Place me in corners with bright light but avoid direct sunlight on me.
• Check your plant regularly and carefully to see if it needs to be watered. Water only when the top soil is dry and ensure that the pot drains off thoroughly.
• Feed me with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the spring and summer seasons.
• Prune dead or damaged foliage just above soil level to keep me at my best and also to reduce the risk of pests or diseases.
• I can be propagated by dividing the rhizome (out of a matured plant).
• I am quite resistant to disease unless overwatered. Note that I am prone to pests including spider mites, mealybugs, thrips, scale, and fungus gnats.
• Periodically clean my leaves by washing or dusting them. This is a great opportunity to inspect my health and look for pests

FAQs

1. Why are my leaves turning brown and crispy on the edges?
   If I get to struggle with humidity, my foliage will turn brown on the edges; random dry, brown spots can also appear on my leaves. Also, exposure to direct sunlight and receiving too much heat could make me turn brown. A humidifier is the surest solution. Cut back the brown leaves to make way for fresh green ones.
   
   
2. Why are my leaves turning yellow?
   The classic cause for yellow leaves is overwatering. If you see a yellow leaf and the soil is damp, let the top half-inch dry completely before rewatering.
   
   
3. Should you mist me?
   Definitely, plan on misting me regularly (once a week is ideal) to ensure I receive the moisture I crave for. Misting will also prove to be a great way of interacting with me and keeping yourself busy without overwatering me.
   
   
4. Am I safe for pets?
   Yes, I am absolutely safe for pets.
