The room's got an average 50% humidity and the central heating doesn't go above 21 celcius, and is off at night and weekdays. I throw in a glass of tapwater with a few drops of plant food every 7 days spring/summer and every 10 days in winter. It has been happy until about a month ago - several strong stems with wide leaves. Of late it's started having yellow edges and brown bits to some leaves, and the stalks are splaying horribly - see picture! Can anyone who knows this plant advise me?!! Overwatering? Underwatering? Too much/too little plant food? Too hot or cold, not enough or too much direct sun? My thanks in advance! :) |
