   I love mine! Be careful about the leaves touching other leaves, i found the leaves are pretty sensitive and prone to trapping moisture and getting fungal rust. Also be careful about too much light, the leaves are thin and burn easily (-: they are better with indirect bright light

     Thank you! I don’t know what to do because it is huge and lots of leaves are touching each other.

     Just make sure to dry the leaves if they get wet during watering, they can touch but if they trap moisture it creates issues. Its a little ugly and the spots wont go away so i ended up having to cut those leaves away when it happened to me. Heres what it looked like when it happened to me.

   Great find! First tip: remember they're toxic to animals and humans! If ingested via the mouth, you can flush it out with milk (if it's safe for the affected individual to consume milk) to neutralize the reaction. This seems to work immediately about 90% of the time, the earlier you realize you've ingested the better it works and less symptoms you'll experience. General tips would include waiting until the top couple inches of soil are dry before watering, make sure it gets plenty of sun, and yellowing and dying bottom leaves will happen and is completely normal (as long as the plant is growing more new leaves than it's losing).
