Dropping leaves

Hey everyone, my baby is dropping leaves and having some of her vines drying and shriveling up. Is it the watering? Or should I repot? I bought her from a little plant shop and I am not sure what I can do to help her flourish and grow more. Everytime I touch her, she drops leaves
3ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 5 months ago
How long has she been in current pot? And how often are you watering?
@LiftLashPlant she has been in that pot since I purchased her, the soil does seem a little tough. I water her a half a cup every seven days, as Greg suggests.
@Tadpole99 When did you purchase her? I’m thinking a repot might be good. It could be root bound or the soil could be old and out of nutrients. I think some fresh nutrient rich soil and a pot one size up might be good for it. I’m looking forward to seeing more experienced people weigh in though. I personally would probably start there and also remove the brown leaves and vines. It’s a deep pot so even if it’s not root bound I feel like fresh soil would help.
@LiftLashPlant I am gonna give it a try!
Okay I repotted her and removed all the dying limbs. I also moved her into a lower light spot so she isn’t getting sunburnt. I moved her to my bathroom for more humidity
@Tadpole99 Looks good keep us updated!
I just made a post about this. Having the same problem, and it just got worse overtime. Here's my post -
