Hi! This is my first and only plant Mercury, and every once in a while when I’m moving her to drain after watering her, a leaf of hers falls off. I’ve been doing everything to try to figure out why but she looks healthy and the leaves that are falling off look healthy so I don’t know what’s causing it. If anyone knows what I can do to fix this please let me know!

I would check for root rot. Its probably not drying out well enough between waterings.

I also think it needs more light to get the distinct lines between the stripes and let the plant use a little more water. See the pic. Definitely, let the soil dry out before watering as stated above.

Agree with the lighting - those leaves are very light green.
