Am I doing something wrong here? I had to repot him because my aunty overwatered him whilst I was on holiday and he shed SOO much. I water when the soil looks dry (and I check using a wooden chopstick). I’ve given him fertiliser once in the last month. He’s still browning and shedding. I guess the room may be a bit cold? And also there’s some white fluff on him where the leaves attach to the stem.
Any idea on what to do?

Same goes for the little one on the right, they were all so healthy for the 2 months before I went on holiday and I’ve been struggling ever since!
that is what they do.
give it a wee bit of water and leave it alone
Mealy bugs – that’s what the white fluff is. Look up how to deal with them, I have to deal with this too having just spotted them on a couple of my plants!
Keep it neglected. Wait till it gets sad/droopy and give it some small amount of water.
Just so you have a comparison: Mine lives in a 40l pot and only gets around 200ml water every 2-3 weeks or so. Despite this it’s going crazy.
I can’t tell you anything on the fertiliser. Mine gets repotted/new soil every spring. It seems to be happy with that.
