I want to know if my cocoon plant is headed in a bad direction… is a little bit of a brown tint normal? She has some shriveled parts but the stem is sturdy so i didn’t remove it. I’m not sure if this is normal or not! Is she too close to the light? Is it burning her? I have her about 16 inches from my LED lights with some plants in between that kinda prove very slight shade.  
I just got her maybe 2 days ago. Potted in cactus potting mix. Her roots were pretty well established so i bottom fed her until my moist meter said she was sufficiently moist.  
I’m most curious about the 1 very shriveled and the ones that is dropping, and the tan/brown tint on her.
