Signs of Overwatering
Dark, mushy patches on the pink-and-cream variegated leaves and a sour-smelling soil mean the roots have been sitting wet too long.
Signs of Underwatering
The dramatic pink, white and green leaves curl inward and develop crispy brown edges almost immediately when humidity or soil moisture drops.
Adjusting for the Seasons
Along with maidenhair fern, this is one of the fussiest plants on this list about humidity - winter heating is often the real culprit behind browning, not the cooler temperatures themselves.
Pro Tip
Use filtered or distilled water if possible - like its calathea and prayer-plant relatives, it is sensitive to the salts and minerals in tap water, which show up as brown leaf-tip burn.
