I've got 5 of them indoors.
You absolutely have to provide light. I keep all of mine in south facing windows. They don't do well any other way. I tried 😢, but grow lights are insufficient.
I started mine as cuttings last year. Once I moved them to south facing windows they are putting out big 8 inch leaves.
They go into shock very easily. Yours is definitely in shock.
DON'T WATER IT right now since it's in shock. Especially having it indoors you have to be very careful not to over water indoors or else they WILL rot.
Shock will last a while, don't be surprised if she drops every single leaf and in naked for a while. They do that.
So my tips to help her through the shock.
A south facing window permanently.
Put her they and keep her there any moves will extend her shock period.
While she is in shock and has no leaves, minimal water indoors.
Allow her to go dry before watering again.
NO fertilizer until she bounces back and starts giving you new growth. Mine were cuttings and gifts from my daughter when she visited Hawaii. 🌺 They were just those sticks you buy in shops wrapped in plastic. I didn't have high hopes. But, here they are today.
