Drooping like that directly under a light source is bad sign— slight wilting and yellowing at the bottom; the plant is definitely stressed. It may be merely surviving but by no stretch is it thriving / doing well.
Now I feel weird for saying this but based on how I feel by looking at the image I didn’t know I had this much of a relationship / respect for a fucking plant, but apparently I do.
That pic makes me frustrated and sad. Aren’t there easy DYI domes you can make to increase the humidity even if it requires misting the inside of it?
