Trivia lime-free and protect full sun
Plants that don't like lime shouldn’t be watered with water containing lime since that often damages the plant and can cause spots on the leaves. It’s therefore important to water these plants with:
Rain water
Filtered water
Distilled water

This plant is also a bit sensitive to full sunlight during the summer months so if you have the possibility then try to protect it with a sheer curtain or move it to a spot with a bit less light during the hottest months. Just make sure that the spot isn’t too shady since they still need light.
