Hello! Yes, definitely cut off all dropping leaves, it looks like it might be overwatered, not sure.

should i cut off the dropping leaves from stem or just right where it drops? it was definitely overwatered my last pot didn’t have a drain hole

Yep! Definitely cut it off close to the stem, if you cut it just where it begins you’ll wind up with dead half leaves that won’t grow back. Ah yeahhh that’ll do it, definitely make sure it’s in a very well draining pot and soil and not near cold drafts
