Hi everyone! I got a little nerve plant last year, and it has not been doing well over the past few months. It started exhibiting extra signs of stress after I repotted in June, which was expected. However, it really started struggling a few weeks later after I went out of town and no one remembered to water it for a week. I had to chop about 1/3 of the plant because it completely shriveled, and since then it's been progressively losing more leaves. They start to turn orange and shrivel at the tips, and eventually they just fall off.

As for current conditions/care information -- I water whenever I notice the soil is dry. The plant sits a few feet from a window in a slightly drafty room, which I unfortunately don't have control over. I put a glass vase over it at one point over the summer to see if it liked the extra humidity, but the next day I checked and it had lost a leaf from that lol.

This plant is very sentimental to me and I would like to save it if possible!
