Blozem HintsđŸª´
đŸŒ¿Feeling the Chill! These warm climate plants are susceptible to temperatures of 12°C or lower. Leaves will curl and can dry up and die.
đŸŒ¿Too dry for too long! Not watering often enough will cause the tips to turn brown. If you are watering often, the issue is the humidity. Time to start spraying.
đŸŒ¿Disguised with dust? Have your broad leaves lost their lustre? Dust with warm water and a clean cloth. Try to avoid the leaf shine as it will do more damage than dusting.
