Half of her leaves are thriving, there are brown spots on a number of the other leaves, and 2-3 have completely died. I water her regularly and she gets the correct amount of sunlight. Does anyone have any recommendations? I really don’t want to give up on her! TYIA

I was having the same issue, it looks like you may want to add more soil. Mine was happier in a bigger planter as well once she got healthy. Now she’s thriving 😍

Try repotting into a bigger pot, it looks like its leaves are scrunching from not having enough room to expand. Make sure the soil is well draining by adding a little bit of small pebbles or sand when adding in more soil to the bigger pot.
