⚠️ Common Issues & Solutions:

  • Root rot (from overwatering) → Ensure the soil dries out completely before watering.
  • Shriveled or soft leaves (underwatering) → Increase watering slightly but avoid excess moisture.
  • Sunburn (too much intense sunlight) → Move to a slightly shaded location if leaves appear scorched.
