The last couple leaves my PPP has grown have been light pink turned to brown. Am I letting it get too dry between waterings maybe? It’s in chunkier soil in a clay pot. And is under a grow light for 12 hours. Maybe the light is too direct?

too much light, and not enough water. i think humidity may also be a problem.
