I'm guessing this plant is too cold and doesn't have enough light. Plant looks healthy otherwise. No pests on plant. Soil isn't too wet. I do let it dry out a little between waterings. We burn wood too, so maybe humidity is too low.how do I connect my photos from gallery to this post?

You find the photo you want to add and copy (Code for bulletin boards) and paste into your thread. I hope that helps Susan

Looks like super dwarf cav, which needs warm conditions in winter months, and bright defused light, in a south facing window, plant needs to be kept above 60F,water once a week in winter months, make sure compost or soil is fee draining.

We burn wood so temps range from 60 to 70
I have good soil. I did just put it in the pot this fall. Good drainage. I put stones in bottom of pot. The soil is composted hay and horse manure mixed with sans
D. It was growing in the same soil last summer and was beautiful. I do water once a week. Thinking its got to be too cold in here and no high enough humidity.

Thats exactly what they do in the winter.
This will be the annual winter look of your plant so do not fret.
You may trim off dead leaves.
Once you take the plant in for the winter the slow decline begins.

Jan, Feb, March is when they will look their worse.

Once that plant gets real sun and warmth it will sort itself out.
Keep your soil on the dry side....it is human nature to overwater once they see the plant stressed.
Conditions are not good for growth so do not fertilize either.
When spring finally rolls around you may split the plant.

This is last years springtime photo after they have been indoors for 5+- months, as you can see they are pretty stressed.

Good I'm on the right path then. I did move it closer to a heat duct and added a spot light. It seems to be perking up a little.
