    Hello, first time poster. I'm having a problem with my plant. I feel like it isn't doing well as it has lost a lot of leaves since I first got it. I got in from an indoor greenhouse, same area that was filled with many succulents.

    Since getting it I have had it next to my window but there isn't a great amount of sun. Have watered conservatively. Still has lost a lot of leaves and some of them at the top of the main stem have wilted.

    I just re-potted it into a slightly larger pot in the hopes that it would help.

    Please help!

    Much much thanks.

    Does that pot have any drainage holes at all? If not, then even with conservative watering you could be drowning the poor thing - wilting and leaf drop are often signs that the plant isn't happy about its feet.

    the pot doesnt have drainage holes but the bottom has a good inch layer of fairly large rocks. The plant had been wilting/leaf dropping before it had been re-potted.

    Beautiful pot, but use it as a cache pot (put another pot with drainage holes inside it). I agree with Lorax. Plants hate wet feet. barb
