They’re just impossible. Quit while you’re ahead. It’s beautiful. Good luck!

I have had success with these before and have another now that is doing well. Personally it’s just one of those plants I ignore… I mist it every couple days, water when it’s dry, about 1 metre from a window no grow light :)

They are divas! Only distilled or rainwater to drink. Take her into your bathroom for humidity when you shower. Also not TOO much sun (or too little lol). Good luck!
