I’m thinking that it’s getting too much sunlight

Mine looked just like this and all I did was cut off all the dead leaves and put it in a new location

I’ve got it on my front porch where it doesn’t get any direct sun. But maybe it was getting too much at the greenhouse. It came with the leaves like that.

Great advice above. These plants aren’t fussy. Almost a bulletproof as Pothos. No direct sun and don’t let them dry out completely

I ended up bottom watering it and it drank A LOT. the top of the soil seemed moist but underneath must have been decently dry.

Honestly that’s why I like to use a moisture meter (or even a chopstick) , especially since when you get plants from the store the potting substrate is usually pretty dense and harder to tell the moisture since some places can be suuuper saturated and others will be bone dry :/
