Hi, I have a Chinese Evergreen and it is losing all of its leaves. They turn yellow first and then drop the leaves. I have it near a window with indirect light. Thank you.

This plant does this when acclimating and when it’s getting too much water and not enough light. Let it dry out almost completely before watering. Is there drainage in the pot?

No drainage in the pot. I think some rocks on the bottoms
