Troubleshooting
Leaves are turning brown or have scorched edges.
This could be due to excessive sun exposure or wind damage. Move the plant to a more sheltered location or provide shade during the hottest part of the day. Ensure it is not exposed to strong winds.
Leaves are losing their vibrant color.
This could be due to insufficient sunlight. Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight. Check for any obstructions that may be blocking the light.
