Do this when you get home
- A desk or a windowsill: bright, but out of direct sun
- Keep the soil just slightly moist
Day to day
- When the air is dry, mist around it often. Yellow tips are usually dryness.
- Let it dry a little between waterings. Water sitting in the pot rots the roots.
- If the stems get messy, prune them. Climbing shoots can go on a small trellis.
Common questions
The leaves yellowed and dropped?
Usual causes: too dry, too much sun, or rotten roots. Check how wet the soil is before you decide.
The tips are brown?
The air is too dry. Mist more often, and keep it out of air-conditioner and heater drafts.
