I have the Stromanthe. It hates to dry out. It is widely said to let plants dry even a little before watering. I have found this is one plant that hates that process. It grows like a weed in the Spring and when I bring it inside and keep it moist. It hates hot summer. When we have our Non-stop rain from April - May it love, love, love that time of year. It is cool 60-70s and soaking wet all day every day.
When Summer comes and it is over 80 degrees the only way I can keep it happy without brown ratty leaves is to water it every day. Once a month I give it a epsom salt dose of 1 teaspoon of epsom salt in a gallon of water.
