Got this beautiful plant for my birthday in September and it is really not happy for some reason. It’s kept in my kitchen in indirect sunlight. I water it when the soil is dry at the top two inches. I was previously putting plant food in the water which I think may have caused the leaves to brown, but I’ve since stopped that and it still looks like this.
Any suggestions welcome

The brown leaves won’t recover, I cut off to give the plant more energy to go to healthy leaves. These guys need LOTS of sunlight I would say you need more light, repot with fresh chunky soil with perlite, water only when too 1-2 inches dry and make sure she is in a well draining pot. Good Luck!! Honestly mine are successful because of my windows and I started using hydroponics liquid fertilizer & it has been life changing as far as growth.

I don’t think you need a bigger pot, mine don’t like it too big but someone else might have better advice. On the new leaf growth rate, it depends on how traumatized they are by the re-pot as well as sun, fertilizer etc. When you repot, look at the rootball, do they look healthy? No mushy stuff.
