OMG mine too!!

Same here. I pulled it out of the pot and trimmed the roots back and removed all the damaged leaves. Repotted it in put an under a grow light. Hope this does the trick.

Definitely too moist of soil its needs to dry out almost completely or even let it dry out completely one time and then give it fewer waterings water like every 2-3 weeks instead letting it get dry before each watering

I would let her dry out then give her a good drink of sea Kelp (super thrive) found at Walmart, Lowe's, or home depot.

### IvyPlanter08 commented on 2026-03-02

Grow Queen has an AMAZING sea Kelp solution!

When you repotted did you remove the ties from around the base? They should always be removed as they can strangle the plant. Like others said too moist can really affect these guys too.

### Jay commented on 2026-03-03

I’ve let the soil completely dry, taken off the ties since i first got it (aug of last year)  
it was doing well until about a month again where it was losing leaves and not growing at all
