For the life of me I can’t get this guy to be happy. It’s by a window but the leaves are all reaching towards the light like it’s starving and all of them turn brown and crispy so fast.

    Maybe a more bright indirect location? Perhaps a porch with a shade over it? Thats where I have mines at currently on a porch with indirect bright sunlight.

    I see the water bulb- does it dry out between waterings or stay mostly wet?

    hi! in nature these tend to be understory, ground cover plants (usually) and do much better with indirect or dappled light, similar to how it would get light under some trees. I would back it away a bit from the window and see if that doesn't make it happier!

      Thanks! I moved it further from the window to see if it’ll help. It just feels like it’s reaching for the light, so I assumed it needed more sun

    I have mine about 2 feet from my sliding glass door and she gets 2-3 hours of indirect sunlight and she’s thriving if that helps
