Quick Takeaway
For a quick answer, check the main steps below. Always ensure proper sanitation and optimal temperatures for the best yield.
Reading the Leaves
Yellowing Leaves
Usually a sign of overwatering. The roots are suffocating and rotting, preventing the plant from absorbing nutrients. Check the soil deep down.
Brown Crispy Tips
This is a sign of low humidity or inconsistent watering. Tropical plants need ambient moisture. Consider a humidifier, or group plants together to create a microclimate.
Stretched, Leggy Growth
The plant is not getting enough light. It is stretching to find a light source. Move it closer to a window or add a grow light.
