Hi my name is Fran picked this plant up because it said didn’t need lots of light but looking sick dropping leaves. Only water when dry. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Hard to tell from this picture, but has the plant been repotted since you got it?

I keep mine in bright indirect light and water once a week. They’re tropical so humidity may be a factor as well

Thank you it’s in indirect light water once a a week? I just put on patio it’s in 80s today hope this works
