My plant started dropping leaves. What does it need?

#Rhipsalis
6ft to light, indirect
4” pot without drainage
Last watered 4 months ago
my general rule is if the leaves are wet I'm over watering/he doesn't have enough light , if the leaves are dry he's underwatered.

I'd check the light/water conditions and try to get it into a pot that drains

I don't have this plant but the leaves look well hydrated and succulent - ish. maybe check the roots for health while ur at it (:
Leaf drop in Rhipsalis can often be caused by issues with watering or lighting. If the leaves feel soft and mushy, overwatering might be the problem, especially if the pot lacks drainage. Let the soil dry out slightly before watering again. If the leaves are dry and brittle, it may need more water. Additionally, ensure it’s getting indirect light since too little light can lead to leaf drop, while direct light can scorch this plant. Adjusting watering habits and ensuring consistent indirect light should help
