I'm still a novice myself but I bought a bella earlier this spring and she seems to be a bit finicky. If it is in the least unhappy it yellows and drops leaves. I have noticed this myself. Right now I have it in dappled sun outside and keep it fairly moist. It's one of the few that doesn't like to dry out completely.

I'd just re-root the cuttings and try again. The bella is a plant that takes a nosedive every once in a while from what I've read but it's so pretty it's worth the work IMHO.

Good luck.

I find this lil delicate lady agreeable. Never let her dry out all the way thru, Brightest sun with NO direct sun. I add a pinch of fertilizer with every watering all summer. She rooted in a glass in a southern window, at work. I have also just stuck tips with new growth in the pot, and they grab on nicely
