Hi, some leaves on my plant are dry and twisting, I already moved it from the windowsill, I tried to water it less and more but there was no difference. Can someone help? :)

Try to change the pot to one with better drainage, and try to remove the leaves that turn yellow since you can’t fix those ones anymore and see how the rest do afterwards

@littleworld534 Hi Lenka, another consideration is also the humidity level and type and intensity of the light it is receiving.  These plants really prefer good humidity and more indirect than direct light or their leaves can burn. Even misting may offer some temporary humidity benefits and you can check the light with a light meter app on your phone..

@littleworld534 P.S. if you need more info, just let me know, Lenka
I just happened to post this about light so it might be useful here too

Hi Lenka, that is such a great question, thanks so much for asking it. Are you able to get a PPFD reading for me with your app? If not, it just means I need to convert it so let me know

@Seymour · Answer

@littleworld534 just checking, are you sure it is LUX and not PPFD, can you check with either Photone or PPFD as I know they use PPFD which is more helpful to answer your question, thanks Lenka
