What is happening with my Pearls \& Jade? I keep pruning off the browning leaves, and she's getting thin. Is it a fungus?

She hangs in front of a tinted North facing window and I water when the top half of the soil is dry. I use a moisture meter.

Only the leaves at the crown browns.

TIA

It might be root bound. Check the roots especially if only one vine is affected.

It could be old leaves dying off if only the leaves near the base are affected. 🪴🍀

It's not root bound. 🤷🏿‍♀️
