    He might just be making room for new leaves, but you moght wanna check and make sure baby leaves are growing in on the stem. He looks okay to me but he looks like he might need less water. If the leaves are yellow and squishy it means he is being overwatered. I don't think you have much to worry about, cuz he is just making room I beleive, but you should keep an eye out for him just in chase! hope this helps 🫶💕

      Thank you!! I’d somehow skipped a watering activity so I gave him a drink and have moved him under a grow light… it’s dull now and he’s in a west window so hopefully he’s happier now 🤞🏻

    I have a gollum losing leaves like crazy. I barely water it, only when fully dry. It’s in an east facing window with about 5-6 hours of partial sun most days. Plus directly under a grow light (about 10-12 inches above it). The leaves just fall off and look shrivelly. When I squeeze them, they seem watery. Any suggestions?

      Sounds like you’ve done all the same things as me… mines in a west window and has a grow light for 12 hours. He was away from the window with the grow light but now he’s in the window with it and seems better. Is still losing the odd leaf/finger though but it’s slowed down now so I’m praying I’ve done enough to get him through the winter months 🤞🏻
