Hello  
My silver sprikles seems to drop a lot of leaves and they easily fall off when i move the plant for watering. Is this normal or does it mean its unhappy?

How much light does it get? I keep mine in bright light and let soil dry halfway before watering

Its about 40cm from an east facing window. Although its frosted glass so not as direct light.

I have two and I absolutely love these plants. So far I’ve been following the recommendations of the app. Mine are on a stand by a south west facing window. I only let dry out slightly on the very top. So far so good.

Ok, maybe ill see about watering it more often then because the soil is completely dry when i water it. I did this because the first time i had this kind of plant i watered it too often and killed it oops. Ill have to find a middle ground
