Something wrong?

  • The whole plant drooping

    Water it well. It recovers within hours.

  • No flowers

    It needs more light. Move it somewhere brighter, still out of direct sun.

  • Flowers turning green or brown

    Normal as they age. Cut the stalk off at the base.

Indoors, aircon OK
