It may be over watered, are you using custom schedule or Planta advice

Also does it have drainage?

#### alex replied on 2025-03-22

yes it does have drainage, i have a moisture meter i just have to make better use of it! i’ll keep a close eye for a bit when i water

It might be the amount of light you’re giving it. It does best in part sun, so I would cut down the lamp time

i’ll be moving it outside to a partly covered balcony!

I am not inclined to think it is a light issue. I think I would lean towards a watering issue or possibly temperature. Primrose like it's cool so if it's near heating vent that would be a problem.
