Has no nutrient defficiencies but needs an inner pot with draining holes so it does not stand in water.

Needs more sun/wind and possibly too damp

Looks like it needs more sun.

Since it's recent, perhaps the west-facing window is getting too hot in the afternoons as the sun shifts. Not necessarily drying out the soil but heating it in the pot.

How often do you water it, and does your pot have a drain?

I water when t It gets light and seems like it's getting dry. Pot drains into a saucer which I then empty. It's in a west facing window sill and did well there till past 6 weeks or so. I figured it might perk up with spring but...

Do you have any pets?

Dog can't reach the window sill this 4inch pot sits on 🙂
