Can anyone help me with this plant? Iāve had it for years and it was thriving at first but itās been months and the leaves always get dry like this. Any idea what can be done to revive it??

It might be root bound so you could try repotting it and then bottom watering it to make sure it gets plenty to drink :)

See what happens to the leaves after you repot it and water it and if they look the same after three days then Iād chop them. Sometimes plants kill off old leaves to grow new ones

Make sure youāre watering with distilled or rain water or treating your water to aquarium drops to filter it as these have sensitivity to lime in water.

i definitely would not recommend repotting currently, if you are in the northern hemisphere. the pot size looks appropriate and repotting during winter can cause transplant shock. do you use chlorinated tap water for this plant? if so iād recommend filtering and treating your tap water first with some aquarium water conditioner. i use that or rainwater but many people will recommend distilled water as well. these plants are really sensitive to excess chemicals and minerals in their soil so the purer the water the better; iād recommend flushing the soil thoroughly once the top 1/2ā or so has dried. always wait for the topsoil to dry before watering again to prevent rot. also, itās worth noting that your plant is definitely not getting enough light in its current spot, those long stems are it stretching for more light
