We have an old lipstick plant that is very unhappy. Last fall it started to lose leaves (a lot of leaves) so I repotted it and added fresh soil and trimmed off a few dead branches. More leaves and branches have shrivelled up this spring and summer and now it has about 25% of the leaves it had last year. It is getting bright indirect light all day and is watered about once a week. I have looked for the usual pests (aphids, whiteflies, scale, thrips, mites, etc.) but I can't find any sign of bugs or disease. The leaves just dry up and fall off and it's not growing any replacements.
DH is really attached to this plant so I hope I can save it. I appreciate any suggestions.
