Any tips? Mine always look really nice and grow really well. For a while. Then start to drop leaflets and look like crap

Don't let them dry out. Keep the conditions consistent. Don't move them or turn them.

Wow! That's so awesome, I had never heard of these. How long is it before they go back to normal after being touched?
