    Are these all lower leaves?

      If all the other leaves look healthy, there’s a chance that they were just ready to go. Plants have to shed their lower, older leaves to make nutrients for the new growth.

    Try a humidifier if the humidity is low. Low humidity occurs often in colder months especially when heaters are on. Leaves drop from old age, especially lower leaves. It’s normal. Underwater (and insufficient light) can dry out the leaves starting from the tips. Try adding a grow light to give it at least 12 hours of bright light.

    I'm going to put it closer to the window and leave the humidifier running all day and see if I see a difference.

    The same is happening to mine! I’ve tried repotting but I’m not sure what’s up with it

      Is yours moving around in the pot as well?

      It leans a lot in the pot, and has been dropping leaves for ages, even though I have repotted it. I’m going to move it into my bathroom so it gets more humidity, and get a bigger pot, maybe that will work? Your idea of putting next to the humidifier sounds like it will work. Good luck :)
