⚠️ Common Issues & Solutions:

  • Yellowing leaves (overwatering or poor drainage) → Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Leggy growth (low light) → Move to a brighter location or prune to encourage bushier growth.
  • Pests (mealybugs, spider mites) → Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
