Where are you keeping it now? It can be more than a light issue.

#### Holly replied on 2025-08-24

In my living room about 3 ft from a big window

Do you know which direction the window is facing at all?

Are you letting the soil dry out before watering? How long is it taking for the soil to dry?

#### Holly replied on 2025-08-24

Yes its in the same pot it came in

Hmm, it looks like that should be enough light. Any signs of pests?

### Holly commented on 2025-08-26

Not that ive seen

I have 2 of these and they are huge and trailing. The best tricks I have are…… get a moisture meter and when it reads dry (like completely dry to where its drooping) put that baby in the sink and give her a soak! I definitely do get maybe 4 yellow leaves after watering but I just pluck those off and shes totally good!
