Oh no❤️ when they do this, it usually means they didn’t have enough water or light. What soil are they in? And when is the last time you have unpotted it to check the roots? If it sat dry too long, the roots can die and there might be very small roots left. If so, then the extra water in the dirt that it can’t reach can cause rot and create a bigger problem.

Mine that were struggling in a window over winter (not enough light, put on more leaves once I put them back outside. I see yours is growing some baby leaves.
