too much sun is kind of hard to do when keeping most indoor plants since windows tend to be treated with uv protection and this one is turning brown, not red like plants like this tend to do when sunburned. i would guess its being overwatered and needs to dry out.

Honestly two obvious reasons sun or too much water. Its not dry so maybe it’s carrying too much water

i did a bad thing and put it in a pot with no drainage ☠️ should i just stop watering it as much and see if that helps along with the new spot further from the sun

would the pot not having a draining hole be the issue with that then ☠️ it's been in this pot for so long tho and never had an issue before i had to chop it and replant it

it could be a mix of shock from the chop and repot causing it to not take up as much water and the lack of drainage hole making it worse.

You might try adding a layer of rocks to the bottom of the pot to help with drainage
