Its wilt is an honest signal, but repeatedly using it as a reminder damages roots over time.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong

Brown leaf tips

What you see: Tips dry and brown, leaf otherwise green
What it usually means: Often minerals in tap water. Try filtered or left-to-stand water.

No flowers

What you see: Healthy leaves but nothing blooms
What it usually means: Usually too little light. Medium indirect light, not a dark corner.

Drooping repeatedly

What you see: Wilts, recovers, wilts again
What it usually means: Letting it fully dry each time stresses the roots. Water a little sooner.
