Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew what's causing this? There was around 5 leaves like this on my lemon lime baby, they just came off with light touch and are pretty flimsy. I would like to note i put them out in the mornings to get some sunlight since where they reside isn't the brightest!
It could be the shock of the sunlight, moving it all the time, underwatering, or pests. It’s hard to tell without knowing your plant care habits and the plant’s history. My best advice is to pick a place for it with good conditions and leave it there
1 like Okay, thank you, I think im going to try just leaving it in the spot in my room for now, see if it gets better, im new to plants and just trying my best 🥹 (Here's where it resides! Do you think itll be okay there?)
It’s hard to tell because idk which direction the light is coming from or how far from the window it is. The light needs to hit the top of the pot for sure.

Be sure to fertilize it regularly. Make sure it gets enough light. Keep it out of direct sunlight which can turn it pal. They like bright indirect sunlight at least 8 hours a day. 🪴🍀
1 like Ah okay! What type of fertilizer do you recommend? (I asked another person but do you think it'll be okay right here?
I simply use Miracle Gro. It’s an old brand that works for my 200+ plants. I also add SuperThrive plant vitamins with the fertilizer water. Many fertilizer are once a month feeding. I fertilize every two weeks with 50% diluted fertilizer to reduce the risk of fertilizer burns. I have used Osmocote timed release fertilizer granules. Once application lasts about 6 to 8 months. Low chance of fertilizer burn. But, takes longer to see the effects. My lemon lime gets morning direct sunlight and bright afternoon shade. Humidity is high in my area and heat is sweltering in Texas summers.
Based on the photo in the comments I would say it’s enough light. I think it also needs a good drink. I’d put it in a sink and give it a good rinse, saturate the soil and let it fully drain. Give it a day or 2 to show you which leaves are recovered and remove all unhealthy/dry leaves
