Do this when you get home
- Put it somewhere bright indoors, out of direct sun
- Keep the soil just slightly moist. When the leaves start to droop, it's time to water.
Day to day
- When the leaves flop, water it through. In a few hours they stand back up.
- Mist around the leaves often. The tips are less likely to brown.
- When a white "flower" fades and turns green, cut it off at the base
Common questions
The leaf tips are yellow and crispy?
The air is too dry, or the watering is uneven. Mist more often and keep the soil evenly moist.
No flowers?
The light is too dim. Move it into brighter indirect light.
