• Maintain humidity with pebble trays or humidifiers, especially during Australian summer heat
• Expect dormancy in cooler months with reduced watering until new growth appears in spring

• Scale insects create sticky honeydew on leaves - wipe with rubbing alcohol and cotton buds, repeat weekly
• Leaf edges browning indicates low humidity or water quality issues - use filtered water and place on pebble trays
• Thrips cause silvery streaks on foliage - treat with insecticidal soap spray every 3-4 days until eliminated
