For your elephant bush, it needs to be outside in direct sun. Since yours is inside, leave it out in the morning then move it to shade the rest of the day. But eventually it wants all day full intense sun beaming on it. Give it a few weeks to get used to the sun then leave it in full sun. Also it doesn’t like water every day. So wait till your pot gets really dry, then water deeply. That’s the cycle it likes @BeefyAnahaw63 @maci.in.bloom @wildleaf @ExecZucchini10
I also have no drainage for 2 of mine (and 2 more propagating in draining pots), my best guess is you need more sun/heat. Mine are outside in Arizona so the no drainage works since it dries out faster from the 100*+ heat and I only water once a week, sometimes twice when we get into deep summer.
I suggest moving yours outside and depending on your location try only watering once a week.

Ive only got 1 of these cuties, sorta small, but once it gets bigger I will 100% prop some more! I love it so much. Mine had a very similar problem, and it really was just that it needed more water! If im not mistaken, the leaves are what hold all of the water, so when the leaves dry up and run out of water they tend to fall off. Tell me if im mistaken 😅, truly just an educated guess
