The leaves are the lungs of your plant, so it's important to keep them clean and dust-free. Wipe clean the leaves with a damp cloth whenever you do your usual dusting.

Be sure to check your plant regularly for signs of stress and/or disease, and remove any browning leaves or flowers to encourage new growth.

Keep your plant out of direct sunlight and chilly draughts as well as away from items which dry the air like radiators and TVs.

Insert your finger into the soil about an inch deep. If the soil feels dry at that depth, it's a good indication that your plant needs watering.
