Sorry to hear that Eli but I don't do anything particular for this plant. It gets watered & fertilized just like the others & about the same frequency as well. The kitchen window faces more or less WSW so gets all the possible sun/light going at any time of the year but it's not in the actual window itself but about 18in away & rather than full sun on the leaves it gets whatever sun can get past the other plants on the windowsill or in front of it. So it gets indirect sunlight.
I'm having to check it over quite frequently as it gets lots of a tiny white aphid that I have to keep cleaning off. Although spiders don't eat them (what a shame!) they do spin their webs in amongst the leaves & some of these tiny white aphids get caught up on the sticky spider silk. As they can't get free they die there. So that's some that don't feed on the poor plant! They also attack the newest leaves as well as the spathes while they are growing. It's a constant battle trying to keep them under control.
