I’ve had this aluminum plant for around 4.5 years, probably been growing for 5, in 2023 it was growing great but it has reached a hight of 2 feet tall and no matter what I do the leaves fall off and it’s so tall I don’t think the water is reaching the top very well, is it time to put my plant to rest? (Apparently it’s supposed to only grow up to a foot and has a life expectancy of 5 years)
