Troubleshooting
Roots appear brown or mushy.
This indicates overwatering and root rot. Reduce watering frequency and ensure proper drainage. Consider repotting with fresh potting mix.
Leaves are yellowing.
Yellowing leaves can be a sign of overwatering, underwatering, or insufficient light. Adjust your watering schedule, ensure proper light exposure, and observe the roots.
