    That looks like it’s not getting enough light and maybe being overwatered?

      I’d say it’s definitely not getting nearly enough light. I have a pretty strong grow light on mine.

    Is there a place it can go outside in indirect light for a couple of days? I’ve had a couple plants like this and the issue for them was not enough light, mixed with overwatering in both cases. I put them outside and they are super happy now

    Just asking, is there any way it may have had or has mites? This will look this way after a while also. But it definitely needs to sit near a window. (If watering is not the issue, I’d repot it with fresh soil. Maybe a smaller tighter pot for a bit. Spray them off and wash the roots before going into new soil. Place near window.

    Does it have good drainage because it looks overwatered or underwatered? Both give droopy yellowing leaves when they aren’t getting enough oxygen. You get that from under/over watering. So you gotta figure out which. How does the top 1-2 “ of soil feel.

    The pot looks far too big for the plant resulting in holding moisture too long. I did the same thing. I would repot into a more snug home. Godspeed!💚💚
