Tips

Watering: Make sure you water the plant only when the potting medium is slightly dry. 
Sunlight: Make sure the plant gets adequate bright indirect light, but not direct sunlight. 

Common Problems and Solutions:

Root rot: This happens when the plant is overwatered. Root rot is the most common issue faced by new plant parents. People tend to over water indoor plants like they would water outdoor plants or gardens. Also, make sure the pot has proper drainage holes to allow excess water flow out.
Mealy Bugs: These are found of the foliage and stems of indoor plants during hot days. They generally are transmitted from outdoor plants. The only solution is to manually wipe them off with a wet cloth. 
Crispy Brown Leaves: When the plant is exposed to direct sunlight the heat burns the leaves and they turn crispy and brown in colour. Make sure the plant is placed in shade/ indoor where it gets only bright indirect sunlight and not direct sunlight.
Brown Tips: This occurs when the plant lacks nutrients/ light. Place the plant in bright indirect sunlight and feed them with NPK based nutrients.

Soggy leaves: The leaves turn soggy when the plant is over watered. Cut off the leaves if they are beyond retrievable. Check for excess water stored in pot.
