   Common Problems Q&A

 Why are my yellowing and dropping?

Your Ctenanthe is probably being overwatered, make sure you are keeping a consistent watering schedule. If your plant is over watered for too long your plant may experience root rot.

Why does my Ctenanthe have brown leaf tips and edges?

This is likely due to underwatering. We recommend watering your plant thoroughly when the top 25-50% of soil is dry.
