How often do you water? Are the leaves that are droping wilted at all or mushy. How much sun does it get? Have you fertilized.

Id try to increase the light. And give it some diluted fertilizer(and possibly some silica). They can drop from either of those. If the leaves are soft(overwatering), wilted (underwatering). But I suspect it just needs food and maybe more light. If you haven't refreshed the soil in awhile, it'd be good to check the roots.

Thank you
