Is it getting enough light?

Yes it’s about 12 inches from the window

I would definitely check the roots for rot sooner rather than later.

I checked roots too not looking very strong so it might be a goner

i had the same thing because i accidentally drowned mine! 🫣 all but three of her leaves fell off so i’ve propegated her… fingers crossed

Bet it would love some fertilizer!! Check it it can have coffee grounds, some plants love it 🥰

Oh I will surely try that I haven’t done that yet. Thank you

yay! so i’ve marked on the image where i cut it. i then popped the ends fully submerged in water into two separate glass bottles- one picture attatched. it’s only been a few days but im starting to see some preparation for root growth on the ends!
