The pot has drainage in the bottom of and has Foxtail Farms ocean soil with a 8-10-8 fertilizer that I given it once in the very beginning. I water about twice a week until the water drains through.

Light wise, I have large south facing windows that get direct sunlight the entire day. At night I set it by my Aerogardens grow lights to get some small amount of light, just because. I have also been running a humidifier about 8 hours or so a day to raise the humidity in the dry Colorado air, and misting the leaves in between the humidifier not being on.

What the heck am I doing wrong? Pics related
Follow the tips in previous posts.
Many times new plants are over loved in the beginning
The plant has signs of being over fertilized over misted and watered.

Let the plant dry out a bit so the roots can breatheand see how the plant responds..Good luck.
