    It looks overwatered. Does the pot have drainage? Are you watering when the soil dries down and need water or are you using only a schedule to water? Strict watering schedules can quickly kill a plant. Is the airflow good in that area so it can help dry up the water on the plants and in the soil?🍀🪴 Does it have at least 8 hours of bright indirect light each day?

      There's only one drainage hole on the pot, and I only got it about a week and a half ago so I've only watered it once (although it wasn't completely dry) and I bottom watered it. It's getting about 5-6 hours of direct sunlight now that the sun is setting earlier where I live. As for airflow, it's quite far from any indoor drafts so I guess it isn't really drying up quickly? I don't think i've had it long enough to be able to tell, and i also just moved into this place 3 weeks ago so I'm adjusting to the layout for my plants. It just happened so fast I want to be able to salvage it before it's too late. Thank you for your reply!!

      It really could just be settling in to the change of environment. You may need a grow light for colder months.
