This could be lack of natural light, set it outside but be careful not to put it in full sun, only part sun, careful not to over water to! Has it been a long time since you fertilized? Maybe some of that!😁💘😍

light. as shelly said start with part shade making sure its in full shade for hot part of day. after recover some repot. give fert then next time give 1Tablespoon epsomsalts/gallon. give epsom salt every 6 weeks. occasionally leach with clear water

I think that there is a chance of it being root bound as well as needing better light. @moore.794 @ShelleySnyder @gjones

@gjones @ShelleySnyder @moore.794 @KariSamuel hi everyone! The thing is that the room where the plant is has plennnty of light, but no direct sun! I fertilize the plant once a month in the summer! The thing is that here in Montreal we had humidity through the roof in the last few weeks, with 35-40 degres everyday. The plant use to be close to my AC but now we moved it to another room... perhaps all that changes affectes it more than I thought :(((

you are having similar temps to many others. plants can withstand high temperatures as long as they have water. mine are out for summer protected from hot sun but receiving full morning & evening sun. your plant looks like mine after winter in basement. cool & low light. recovers quickly in spring

Plants will sometimes do strange things when moved from where they were doing good so all I can suggest is to put it back to where it was doing good and see if it picks back up🤔💘😍
