Probably light issues. First though check if you can see root at the bottom of the pot incase it is root bound. Check how dry the soil is and if it feels bone dry give it a hefty drowning in the shower

I just repotted the plant and I found her at Walmart it was probably getting too much direct light. Thank you!
