Been slowly losing leaves, I moved it farther away from the window because I thought it was getting too much light and let it dry out before watering. Thought?

what was happening that made you think it was getting too much light? unless it was sitting riiight in a south facing window, these like bright light best.

Plants says part sun/part shade and it was near a south facing window

I would put it in an east or west facing window if you’ve got one
