My bet could be humidity issues right now I think since we are so close to a border of a season change a lot of plants are going through a weird phase and transition readying up for the next season so it could be that as well but I’d start with humidity and go from there down the list #### ro \<3님이 2023-08-27에 답변했습니다. i hope that’s what it is!! thank you☺️ ### MamaJuju님이 2023-08-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. How long approximately have you had it and had it ever been repotted in your care? I’ve had this happen out of no where on plants I hadn’t reported after purchasing and sometimes the roots are wrapped, have a rubber and around them, have a plastic mesh around them, whatever from when the store received it from the farm. Also it could just have a ton of roots. Either way, if it doesn’t resolve shortly, I would repot! #### ro \<3님이 2023-08-27에 답변했습니다. I’ve had it for a little over a month and I repotted it when I got it. i might just take it out of the pot to look at the roots and make sure it doesn’t need to be reported again. thank you!! \<3 ### Plant Lover님이 2023-08-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. I had this type of plant before and found that they do not last very long, especially indoors and in a pot. Hopefully you’ll have more success! Leaves don’t live forever, so a few leaves yellowing and dying could just be normal part of its life cycle. Overall, your plant looks wonderful! #### ro \<3님이 2023-08-27에 답변했습니다. thank you so much!! i’m hoping it’s just losing old growth or throwing a fit about the weather 🥲 ### Karson님이 2023-08-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mine does the same thing and I’ve had it for a year now, they just have a short life cycle in a pot, you can always prune back a little if they start getting to leggy. Increasing humidity does help a lot! #### ro \<3님이 2023-08-27에 답변했습니다. thank u sm!! i’ll put a humidity tray underneath. that’s so good to know. is there a way of increasing its lifespan? i love this lil guy sm🥲 #### Karson님이 2023-08-27에 답변했습니다. honestly I’m not sure! I think it natural sheds it’s leaves regularly to make room for new growth, but as long new shoots are coming out the plant still looks super cool! #### ro \<3님이 2023-08-28에 답변했습니다. thank you so much!! this little guy definitely gets lots of new growth. i hope he keeps getting better!! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
