I have one of these (photo attached), and she was giving me problems for a bit too, but after cutting off the leaves with brown marks, misting her daily, and keeping her soil moist at all times, she is thriving! Also make sure to rotate a lot if you keep yours in a window. Mine got sunburnt a bit from too much sun on one side

I have mine on a pebble tray. Helps it from getting dried out. Mine is in indirect light. They are picky plants🪴

This plant needs consistent misting, moisture, proper airflow, high humidity, and bright indirect light. Once you achieve the right balance of these conditions, you can add a light application of nutrients to the soil to help it grow fuller and more vibrant.

Self watering pots

I bought one from a retail store. When I got home it home it had such root rot. I repotted the plant in a bigger pot. I did trim up the roots that were like hay. Placed floral rocks in then soil. Rocks hold humidity. Then added plant food. Two weeks later it was looking better. I boil banana peels then add water for homemade food. Gave a tablespoon to the soil it took off!! They like light but not heat. If in a window move her at the hottest time of day. Mist lightly, so it’s not soggy. You’ll do great! I gifted mine to a friend and 2 years later she is still growing. Best wishes.

I have mine sitting directly next to a humidifier so my ambient humidity is pretty high. That has the same effect as a pebble tray or a misting. I do also mist mine but maybe weekly
