First picture was November 2, 2025 and second picture is April 6, 2026. Wondering why all the leaves fell off the sides. The plant seems healthy and still has a ton of new growth on top, but won't seem to grow on the sides and get that "full" look back. It could be due to the winter / lack of sunlight over those couple months, but I'm not sure. Would appreciate some advice / recommendations on how to re-encourage growth on the sides!!
