# 95% sure I originally overwatered a month or two ago and it lost like…

_Gepostet von Ryanash28 am 2025-07-22_

95% sure I originally overwatered a month or two ago and it lost like 5-10 leaves… but I’ve repotted in a smaller pot, changed soil to let it dry completely before last watering and it’s still shriveling up and dropping leaves like crazy, practically all of them. The remaining leaves keep shriveling up.

Do I need to prune it back to make it full again and let it recover? or is it just a lost cause and I need to get a new one? Profile picture of it in bigger pot was much fuller and healthier.

It might be a lack of light and I would prune it
