I've had this plant for a month or so and it's clearly unhappy, the leaves have been quickly turning yellow and brown before falling off. The nursery we got it from said it sounded like it was over-watered but we have been watering it pretty carefully (around once per week). Other people we've asked have also suggested overwatering as the likely cause.

I've checked the roots and they seem fine, the soil is not soggy – if anything it's fairly dry throughout.

Much of the advice we been given seems specifically focused on Monstera and Philodendron and I'm wondering if perhaps this plant has slightly different needs? I haven't noticed any reduction in leaf loss after watering or inbetween watering. Also it is still growing new leaves. I can't help but wonder if it's actually under-watered but am nervous to water more given the advice I've recieved.

Anyone have any experience?
