I received this cuprea from a friend for christmas. However, in the last month, it has lost 4 leaves. Its remaining leaves seem to be drooping, and I don’t know how to stop it. I water it every 7-10 days, and the pot it’s currently in has no drainage. Does anyone have any advice on how I can keep her alive? 😅 I welcome and greatly appreciate any tips!
You’re letting the soil get dry and that is the reason for your problem. Taro need consistent moist soil and start dying when they get dry.

No drainage and it's dry? How much water are you giving it each time? It's a lot easier to keep them in pot with drainage holes and water thoroughly each time, letting the excess drain out. Then when the top 25% or so of the soil is dry, water thoroughly again.

They love humidity! Like love! I'd either mist it 2x day or a pebble tray, or humidifier. Investing in a hygrometer/thermometer is worth it. Govee makes a great one thats cheap and has an app
