Hey everyone so my turtle vine plant isn’t doing too good🥺. He was thriving for months but now his leaves are turning crispy and the vines are thinning out completely and breaking off. Any tips?

When was the last time you repotted? Could it need a new pot? This happened to my ivy where it completed shed all of its leaves then regrew it all back. It’s possible it’s the season… I also repotted the ivy and it looks completely different and healthier.

Had to look up Turtle Vine. I know it as Callisia or Pink Panther. Those can be trimmed back without causing harm. I’ve done it several times. I keep mine short. Usually it’s much more pink but had to move it a couple weeks go and forgot about it. They grow extremely fast so it may need a new pot and a soil refresh.
