Do this when you get home
- Put it somewhere bright indoors. If the light is too dim, the yellow stripes fade.
- Let the top half of the soil dry, then water. The base of the cane hates sitting wet.
Day to day
- In winter, water less
- If a tip yellows and crisps, just cut it off
- The cane is an old stem that was cut and rooted. It won't grow taller. New shoots come from the top.
Common questions

Too much water, and it rotted. Stop watering and check it. Cut off the rotten part.
