Soil looks a little on the soggy side. Maybe check the roots?

See if there are brown/black roots that are mushy and smelly. Its a sign of root root from watering to much. If they are them take all of the bad roots off and was them really good. If the roots are fine then thats good. Just don't water as much since theres only a few leaves. My cebu blue is not looking good eaither. I've always had trouble with it. :/

Remove it from the ceramic pot to water. Let it fully drain before putting it back into the ceramic pot. Verify there is no standing water around the roots or in the ceramic pot. I’m assuming the ceramic pot has no drainage holes.

Fertilize about once a month with diluted fertilizer.

Place it in a warm location with temperatures above 70 degrees.

Place near a south or west window. A grow light within one foot from it running 12-14 hours a day will help.

Increase the humidity around it. It’s small enough to put a small clear plastic container or cloche over it. You can DIY a cloche using a clear water bottle. 🪴🍀
