Help! I have this oyster plant that has been steadily losing the lower leaves. They’ve been turning brown at the tips and then sort of wilting inwards. I’ve pruned it, repotted it, and it lives in a room that maintains 60 to 70% humidity.
It could be a few things or a combination: 1) Overwatering can cause the wilting and dying symptoms. They need less water in the colder darker months. 2) Overheating can cause wilting if it was close to a heat source 3) insufficient light can cause both the loss of color and loss of leaves. Move slowly to full sunlight or add a grow lamp, if needed 4) Insufficient fertilizer - Add fertilizer like Osmocote granules that last about 9 months 5) Rootbound - Check the roots. Repot if needed.

I have two of them and they both took ages for me to get “happy “. Try more sun and less water and don’t panic if you lose a few of the bottom leaves because you still will. It’s just what they do. Lol.
