Repotted from much smaller pot?  
Looks like more dirt than the plant needs, meaning more water that dirt can retain, meaning easy to overwater bc the plant can’t absorb all the water so the roots are rotting.  
That’s my suspicion.

yes! that could be the case the original ikea pot was much smaller. thank you so much i will take your advice :)

I have had that happen to me even in its original container. One lasted 4 years and then stalk by stalk did this 😟
