Quick Care Tips
Bright light keeps lime tones vivid and glowing
Allow soil to dry slightly between watering
Higher humidity prevents crispy leaf edges
Rotate occasionally for balanced growth
 
Troubleshooting
Fading or dull colour:
Usually caused by low light. Move to a brighter, indirect position.
Crispy or browning edges:
Often low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and water evenly.
Yellowing leaves:
Overwatering or poor drainage. Let soil dry slightly and check roots.
Drooping leaves:
Can be caused by underwatering or temperature stress. Check soil moisture and room conditions.
