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.

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...
