# Looking for tips on how to care for this new friend! Had a larger one…

_Posted by Amanda P on 2023-06-22_

Looking for tips on how to care for this new friend! Had a larger one before that I absolutely killed (potentially underwatered?) but I want to grow this one out super big!

Mostly looking for things to look out for health wise! What are the most frequent issues people run into? If the leaves are sagging, what does it need? Water or sun?

Just make sure not to overwater it. Put it in indirect light, not too far away from a window, thought it does great in low light conditions. During the summer months don’t forget to feed it as well (fertilizer) and mist it almost every day, unless you have air conditioning. In time it will take off. Just look for new leaves. Good luck. It’s one of the easier “indoor” plants to take care of.

If the leaves are sagging or drooping, it is kindly telling you it needs some water :)

KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUN!!!! ❌☀️‼️  
All of those pretty white parts will turn brown and crispy. Keep in the interior of your home, not in direct view of any window. I know it seems dramatic, but it’s the second most common problem with this plant, the first is overwatering. Good luck!
