My guess is it’s not getting enough light and so it’s starting to get root rot/ overwatered!

Thank you Sarah! I will move it to a sunnier spot and hope that helps 🌞🤞

I would also suggest checking the roots, if they are mushy, brown and smell bad they are rotten and need to be trimmed with clean shears and repotted into new soil. Preferably a chunky soil mix
