Help! Last time I watered it was last week. Several weeks before that all the little leaves fell off but recently new leaves are growing. I really want to take of it as much I can and not let it die. Looking for any new ideas in what else I can do so it can flourished beautifully.

How’s your light? Can’t tell about possible variables from this picture.

Lately the sun hasn’t been hitting to much in the living room so it’s been partially sunny and shade for now. Once July and August hits most likely the sun will be beaming directly to my living room. My bedroom has the most direct light.

It might be a light issue? Make sure you let it completely dry out between watering. I recommend getting a moisture meter (game changer for me). For this one, you might want to trim it back a little. Hope it recovers. 🧡🌵

Thank you and I hope so too.

Maybe it's too wet. These like water only 1x per month. Try repotting it with good draining sandy soil. If roots are rotting try to trim and reroot or propagate and let it get really dry before watering again.

Thank you for this awesome idea.

It's best to be in a south facing window. It needs full sun for at least 6 hours per day. They prefer outdoors in sun. So if it's inside it needs a really sunny window or grow light.

Nice! I will definitely move it to a sunny window.
