I would like to know how to care for this plant. I have one and cannot find any information about it. The leaves are turning brown and dying.

Hey, I bought a red sister cord about two weeks ago, and the tag it came with says it needs medium sunlight, medium watering (a liter a week), and I follow instructions for an indoor plant fertilizer I bought. Hope this helps a little, but the mature height is 5 feet so if its not growing, something is not right.

Light: The plant requires full sun to partial shade. Maximum amount of light is needed for best foliage colors.

Temperature: Does best in temperatures of 15 - 30°C.

Humidity: The plant requires about 60% humidity.

Watering: It requires abundant watering. Keep the soil moist in summer, dry in winter. Do not allow the soil to dry out. Water thoroughly when the soil surface is dry to touch.

If the leaves are browing it is most likely has to do with either overwatering or underwatering.
