The fronds can become pale or have scorch marks on them if the sun is too hot.

WATERING: During the winter the sun is much less harmful to the plant. This is a species that loves it's soil to remain moist at all times, but not soggy. Water around the edge of the Center rosette to avoid the water becoming stagnant in the Center, which may cause rot.
