Hi everyone! This is my first SoT and since I purchased it at the beginning of June it lost a lot of leaves and now it looks quite “bald” on the top, moreover it dried few new growths.
I checked the roots and some rotted so I repotted it in a well draining mixture (small bark chips, soil and perlite).
Do you have any tips to make it thrive?

More light from above if you want a “full head of hair”.
Mine LOVES humidity. It was failing, and I put it in a terrarium and it exploded. To make it fuller on top, you can wrap one of the long strands on top of the soil and it will root.
wrap some of the strings in a coil on top. get it in some southern or early morning eastern sun. where the sun can hit the top of it.
Compared to mine you are doing great so keep it up I guess?
If you have a wider pot but same/similar height as the one it’s currently in, that would help give you more space to coil strands onto soil for a better rooted plant. Short pots are hard to come by around me so I use empty plastic food containers.
