Signs of Overwatering

Yellow leaves combined with a mushy, blackened stem base point to overwatering and root rot.

Signs of Underwatering

Leaves droop and the waxy flower spathes shrivel and fade faster than normal when the plant needs water.

Adjusting for the Seasons

Consistent moisture supports more reliable, longer-lasting blooms - let the top layer of the chunky mix dry slightly between waterings, but don't let it go bone dry.

Pro Tip

Wipe the glossy leaves occasionally with a damp cloth, both to keep them dust-free and to check for pests hiding under the leaves.
