    really? The trunk of the plant is so thin! and the leaves are solid green with no highlighted area on them... this tree is about 8ft tall.

    thank you both, now i just need to look into why all the leaves die and turn brown and the living conditions it needs to be in.

    thank you.

    Bright indirect light, moist not wet.
    Salt and fluoride free, bark based potting soil.
    Looks way too dark where it is now.
