The leaves are wide and stiff, and shaped like the body of a
fiddle. They can be bought in bush or tree form. If this plant is in
too low a light situation the branches become elongated and new growth
is dwarfed. Over watering results in edges of leaves becoming brown.
Plant will droop and lose yellow leaves if under watered.

let them dry completely out between waterings. Over watering will
result in brown edges on leaves. Empty saucer after watering.

growth. Remove new leaves if discoloration appears, repeat until
growth is normal.
