My plant was thriving and now is dead. Does anyone know what might have happened? Is there any way I can propagate the leaves? Any advice/tips are welcome

possibly overwatering? was the water able to drain out from the bottom of the pot or did it all collect by the roots?

I did not think of that. The pot had no drain holes, so the water probably collected at the roots. Thanks!

Oh my, is there any drainage to this pot?

Overwatering causing root rot. The soil needs to drain and dry out before watering again.
