Common Problems Q&A
Yellowing Leaves
Causes:
- Overwatering (most common)
- Poor drainage
- Underwatering
- Natural aging (old leaves)
Solutions:
✅ Check soil moisture—allow the top 1-2 inches to dry before watering again.
✅ Ensure the pot has drainage holes and is not retaining excess water.
✅ Trim off only the fully yellowed leaves.
✅ If older leaves turn yellow while new growth is healthy, it may be natural aging—nothing to worry about!
Brown, Crispy Leaf Edges or Tips
Causes:
- Low humidity
- Tap water chemicals (chlorine, fluoride)
- Underwatering
Solutions:
✅ Increase humidity by using a humidifier, pebble tray, or occasional misting.
✅ Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater to prevent chemical buildup.
✅ Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry, ensuring even moisture.
Drooping or Wilting Leaves
Causes:
- Underwatering or overwatering
- Cold temperatures or drafts
- Root rot
Solutions:
✅ Check the soil—if dry, water thoroughly; if soggy, let it dry out before watering again.
✅ Keep in a warm environment (65-80°F / 18-27°C) and avoid cold drafts.
✅ If roots are brown and mushy, trim them and repot in fresh, well-draining soil.
Curling Leaves
Causes:
- Low humidity
- Temperature fluctuations
- Pest infestation (spider mites, thrips)
Solutions:
✅ Increase humidity—keep above 40-50%.
✅ Maintain a consistent temperature, avoiding sudden cold drafts.
✅ Inspect for pests and treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary.
Leggy Growth (Stretched Stems & Sparse Leaves)
Causes:
- Not enough light
- Natural aging of lower leaves
Solutions:
✅ Move to brighter, indirect light to encourage compact growth.
✅ Prune the top leaves to encourage bushier growth.
✅ Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even light exposure.
