The only way I’ve been able to keep one alive and thriving has been in a super gravel soil like bonsai jack succulent soil. Lay what is left over the soil or pin the string down with some floral pins/bobby pins and mist regularly. I keep mine in direct light now but probably ease into it.

Most of its died off I am careful with watering as the soil before from the initial purchase was so badly waterlogged I’m really careful about watering it not drenching but enough to give it a good drink I might try my grow light see if that does much

it sounds like the roots were rotten if it continued to decline after repotting, usually if a plant is this far gone the only way to save it is to “chop and prop”
