Thank you Bob!
I have moved it to a window facing east, will keep it moist and get a
pebble
tray. The plant has sentimental value, and I don't want to loose it!


OK Jen, best of luck. Let me know how it works out.

It's about 2 feet from a window that faces west (so I guess partial
sunlight
part of the day). I water it when it looks dry (dirt moves in from
the
outer edge of the pot) -- about once a week.


1. You are probably underwatering. You might try keeping it slightly
moist.
2. A west window in winter is not enough light. East or south would be
better, otherwise use artificial light.
3. Use a pebble tray to increase humidity.

It seems that these are very sensitive plants. I have one that
recently
flowered, but the leaves turned spotty, brown and wilty. (I know
not
to
get
the leaves wet.) I changed the location of the plant, it seems to
be
doing
better (no more brown leaves). However, I'm concerned about the
part
of
the
stem of the plant where I removed the dying/dead leaves. I added
soil
to
the top (to try to keep it straight), but it's still leaning.
Nearly
all
of
the leaves had to be removed. Do you think this plant is beyond
saving?
I
hope not. There are new leaves coming up, but the plant is still
leaning.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.


How much water and light are you providing?
