Can anyone explain what’s going on? The leaves are all rotting and falling off. I got it a few weeks ago and it was doing fine. I cut one stem down completely already

    Looks like it could be root rot, have you repotted it to see what the root system looks like? There's a pretty good chance the soil is staying wet for too long

      I repotted it a 2 weeks ago it was healthy. I thought it didn’t like to dry out completely?

      Hmm very odd. Not sure of the exact species but generally yeah plants dont like going dry 😂. Do you water on a schedule or feel around the soil moisture level? It doesnt look like you have pests so im at a loss as well, maybe the plant simply decided it preferred a different environment and isn't acclimating well to your home. I seriously doubt its anything you've done wrong care wise

    Looks like extensive root rot from overwatering.

    No expert here but pot looks too big for what’s left of your plant.

      Yeah i cut the 2 stems. It was a good size pot when it was growing and looked good. I’ll have to repot it but I really don’t want to lol
