      It might be overwatered. Dig it up and check its roots to see if you have any black/mushy roots. If you do, remove anything that is rotten, spray the remaining roots with hydrogen peroxide and repot with new soil.

    i’ve had mine for almost 2 years, i water mine once a week and i wipe down the leaves with a mixture of water & mayo (weird ik but it creates a healthy shine) make sure to check the roots and get rid of anything that looks yucky. try resoiling it as well! hope this helps! 😊
