What's wrong with my lipstick plant? Have had it for like 2 months. Leaves are turning brown (but not dry) and falling off. I've been watering every couple of days when it felt dry (my apartment gets pretty hot this time of year). It gets indirect sunlight (but maybe not enough?)

Probably too much water. I don't know how much water you give each time, but every other day is probably too often. Switch to one good watering a week and maybe another smaller one if it's dry, but make sure to test deep enough.
