I am very confused about how to take care of this plant. The leaves turn yellow a lot, and I don't want to cut them off. This plant seems to be CONTAMINATED by other leaves😭. How can I take good care of it? Please help me.
This plant is easy to care for because it only needs 4 hours of sunlight a day. Ensure that the room temperature ranges from 65°F to 80°F, and this plant likes high humidity. Also, make sure that you choose a pot with good drainage.
I think you should definitely cut it! You could also try updating your growing medium by using a soil mixture of peat, pine bark, and perlite or vermiculite. This will ensure that the soil has good drainage. Choose the leaves you want to cut and reduce the volume of watering. This will help your plant recover from the cut. Just pay attention to the humidity and you'll be fine!
I have this plant, too! It is now thriving and constantly growing new leaves, just like yours. 😊 The easy way to boost your plant is to use a balanced NPK ratio fertilizer. You can also try using a slow-release fertilizer in pellet form, or you could go for an excellent liquid fertilizer like Dyna-Gro Grow or Espoma Organic 8 Ounce Concentrated Indoor. Either way, your plant will be happy! I usually avoid fertilizing in the winter, but if your leaves turn yellow, it could indicate a nitrogen deficiency. There's no need to fret, though! You can use an NPK fertilizer to bring it back to life.
