| I bought one these in December. When I potted it I gave it a little water and kept it in a south window. It was sprayed periodically with others several mornings a week. The leaves have been dying from tips (most of them). Several days ago I trimmed it and put in the greenhouse. I'll now leave it alone. I am thinking it does't want much water. Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks, Woods |

| I grow mine in full sun here. It really brings out the colour. You would need to acclimatise it to do this. |

| Thanks sunshine. How much water do you give it? |

| Normally once a week but in hot weather a spray a couple of days a week as well. At the moment over the last few weeks we have had over 300mm of rain and they are doing okay. |

| Hi everyone jwnesmith - I live in Australia so I'm not familiar with the conditions in the US, but I was once told that as an indication of what the problem could be: Brown leaf tips means..not enough water Maybe this will help you. All the best, Nev. |
