I need some help, I bought a polka dot plant a few weeks ago and I've been watering her when she gets a bit wilty and I've been giving her indirect light but I feel like I'm doing something wrong! She keeps dropping leaves and a lot of them brown, what am I doing wrong???

I’m still fairly new but mine does that all the time. I regularly am trimming older looking leaves. Mines about 1.5yrs old now and gotten super leggy so maybe someone more experienced can weigh in.

Beauuuuutiful colour tho!! 😍😍😍

I absolutely love her colours! There was a brighter pink one but I loved the softer pink, she's so beautiful 🥰
