WHAT GOES WRONG:
- Leaves droop, otherwise plant is healthy: too dry! Soak plant in a water.
- Leaves are poor color and no new grow – soil exhaustion – repot the plant or feed it regularly.
- Plant ceases to grow, foliage appears dull – temperature’s too low. Move to a warmer place.
- Lower leaves turn yellow and the drop – overwatering – allow plant to dry out until recovered and then water less often.
- Brown or black rings on leaf or at leaf edge – check that leaf is not touching a window in winter. Do not allow water stay on the leaf in direct sun.
