A picture would help, Beautiful, but I can give you some of its normal requirements. It likes bright, indirect light, but little or no direct sunlight--a big open north window would be ideal, or an east window with sheers or a chintz curtain. It needs warm temps, at least 22º C at night, but not over 32º. It likes high humidity, so a pebble tray, or a spot in the bathroom, is indicated. The compost should be coarse and fast draining, and it likes frequent, light feedings with a low phosphate houseplant food. Brown leaves often result from too much sun, too frequent watering, sitting too long in a saucer full of water, or too much food.

Aha! I just saw the first question. Brown edges on the leaves usually means too little humidity, and/or too much sodium in the water. I wouldn't expect the latter to be common in Ireland, but it's still possible with some wells near the coast.

Thanks Guys for your replies..........
