💡 Tips for Beginners

• Use well-draining soil: Helps prevent overwatering and root rot.

• Check lighting needs: Match the plant with the lighting conditions in your space.

• Start small: Begin with 1–2 plants and gradually add more as you gain confidence.

• Don't overwater: Most beginner issues come from too much water rather than too little.

• Wipe leaves occasionally: Keeps them clean and allows better light absorption.
