I’m sorry this happened! Make sure it has plenty of bright light. They tend to have a very high leaf turnaround rate in the winter time due to the weaker sunlight 💚

Will do. I moved it in a brighter spot today hoping to see some improvement

Perfect!! Increasing the humidity around it will help too! 😁
