We have had ours for years but a drama queen. Any little breeze and she drops leaves

They can be divas. I’m trying to get one to last until December 🤞  
I think we’ll be ok as long as we don’t forget to water it at least every other day.

How did you keep yours going into summer? I’ve tried twice! Did the big chop at the end of winter/start of spring. They’d show some regrowth and then stall and die by summer. What’s your secret!!!!

I don’t know lol I guess I got lucky! I water when maybe halfway dry and she’s in a window that gets a small amount of afternoon sun. We’ll see if she makes it through summer! 🤞

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you! It’s this much leaves I’m sure she’ll make it! Mine never got this many leaves. Yours is so beautiful!!
