Never seen one before but baby girl needs to be repotted and given a hefty drowning in the shower hopefully then it will perk up. Check the roots at the bottom of the pot, if they're growing out of visible it could be root bound when you repot completely removed all the soil and and gently transfer to the new pot.

If you're top watering I'd recommend switching to bottom watering so it doesn't irritate their textured leaves!

I’ve been bottom watering there isn’t any roots coming out of the bottom and I will be repotting. Thank you
