HELP πŸ†˜ I have no idea what I have done wrong!

She was fine one day and then started rapidly declining! I never changed anything about her environment! How can I save this??? #EmergencyRoom #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #FalseAralia
0ft to light, indirect
6” pot without drainage
Last watered 6 months ago
Are the plant details correct? Is she in a glazed clay pot with no drainage and was she last watered 2 months ago?
@VermontPrincess Not the watering, she was last watered a few days ago
@ImNotABotanist hmm hard to say I don’t know anything about this kind of plant but in general a glazed pot with no drainage would hold on to excess water too long. Greg recommends a well draining soil containing perlite, peat moss or sand. Maybe a repot into a plastic pot with drainage would give you a chance to examine the roots to make sure they are healthy? The internet says this plant likes a pot just slightly bigger than the root ball.
@ImNotABotanist is there any drainage? I let mine dry almost completely out before watering.
@NovelRosaryvine There is not, but although she has lost all of her leaves, I have changed my watering frequency, thank you.
@ImNotABotanist I’d still put in a pot with drainage.
