HELP! My Dolphin plant seems to be dying \& I have no idea why. The stems seem to be browning \& the new growth seems to be dying as well coming from the stems? Can anyone help me identify what’s wrong?

What type of soil is used? Is there drainage? Are you watering when it’s dry? To me it looks like it’s not drying out well

Yes there’s a drainage I let it drain out when watered, I use the miracle grow potting mix.

I’d recommend the succulent/cacti mix for stings of things. A terracotta pot is also helpful. They hold water in their leaves and don’t like moisture retention near their roots
