Could be over watering check for root rot

They do go dormant 🤔 that might be happening. I killed one of these real bad so I can’t really help. Good luck

They don’t go dormant indoors if given enough light. Is it sitting in the water because you just watered it? If not I would guess that is the culprit however they do lose leaves especially if not given enough light.

yes maam! it was watering day. her roots are very white and healthy, and shes in a very chunky soil mix. ill put a grow light on her and hopefully she will perk up
