Have had this for a while but it’s been suffering a little. Any recommendations on how to help it? How much/little to water it?

The soil looks very wet. Considering the tree does not look healthy this means it needs less nourishment as it is not actively growing.

You can repot into fresh well draining soil and put it into outdoor indirect sun light to see if it will recover. As Breanna said, it is unlikely to recover but I think it’s always worth a shot to try.

Good luck!
