Why are the leaves going light coloured? I’ve tried adjusting water, lighting, adding fertilizer. Not sure what else to do!

They look like they might be turning yellow. I’ve noticed this plant to be a bit finicky tbh. Maybe look at the roots?

I just checked the roots (they are fine) and repotted it with fresh chunky soil also. This plant is my nightmare lol

Good luck! It’s sooo tricky, at least for me. My east window bleached it, pulled back was not enough sun and the leaves started falling off, watered it slightly off it would go yellow and drop. Also some weird bubble texture issues. I’ve only found success watering when dry and leaving it in a west window 🤷‍♀️

I could not keep this plant alive. I tried twice. Normally the leaves are flat. Mine were cupped like yours.i don’t know if it had a pest I could nnt see or what. I could never figure this one out :(
