WARNING!
Every part of this plant is poisonous to pets and humans.
Soft and limp leaves.
A sign of over watering. At this stage it is best to check if root rot is present and if it is, take as many healthy cuttings as you can find. If, however, you can still see white roots then place the earth ball on a saucer to allow for good air circulation and a chance for the plant to dry out.
Crispy, brown leaf tips.
A sign of low humidity. Mist the plant with a fine mist using lukewarm warm water.
Yellowing leaves that drop off suddenly.
Draughts and cold cause the plant to go into a shock. Check for any cold air currents and move the plant out of the way.
