So my plant has started having a lot of leaves dry up and fall off and Planta said it was because of a lime sensitivity so I started using distilled water but she is still having problems :(  
I’m not sure what to do since the stems are getting really long and there’s only a few leaves left…

Light and nutrient deficiency. The red color is fading due to the lack of light and the discoloration is from needing nutrients like fertilizer. Also make sure to keep it moist and not too wet. Cordylines like Sun and part shade.
