Hopefully your thread title will get the attention from someone with more specific advice/experience. (or purpleinopp has more to add)


purpleinopp said: Agree, it does not sound like enough light. Try to provide a spot as close as possible to a sunny window, with as much warmth as possible. No idea if that's a good soil for the plant from the description. If it's staying wet for a long time, that's not good.

I wonder if it got too cold on the way to the store, or while being unloaded into the store? Is it frigid where you are? It looks like a plant that has recently been frozen but not yet lost its' color or shape. Or one that has been severely damaged at the point where it emerges from the soil for some other reason.


Thank you for the suggestions. I already moved the plant to another location which gets more sunlight.

The soil does not stay wet for a long period of time after watering (I took the picture immediately after watering the plant).

I purchased this plant online and it arrived to me about two months ago when it was still warmish outside. The plant lives inside and was never exposed to any temperature lower than 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit).
