So i bought this plant (blanket flower) it was slightly dying so i bought it because i like the challenge and it got slightly greener but I don’t know why and got a little worse since I got it I spray water everyday so that I don’t drown it but I don’t know if that’s over watering

There’s two pictures of when I got it and how it’s doing.  
By the way it was in a small 4 inch pot when I got it

Hi,

Blanket flower is a kind of sunflower. They need 6-8 hours of direct sun. I don’t think that light is strong enough.
