Looks like a combination of lack of light and over watering.

What lights are on it?

And make sure you let the soil dry out before you water it again. Also, don't give that plant any kind of nutrients until you get it to stand up fully again.

Looks like it could be over/under watering. What is your Nute Schedule Like? What type of lighting are you using and are you single.. JK bout the last part, but there is still a chance for your girl to pull through.

Looks like in the second picture you tried and misting it with water, Like DownOnWax Said, let it dry out before you attemt to water it again. You may want to put it out side for some good light as well for now till it perks back up.

it's been under a standard 2ft 20 watt bulb for about 4 months now, i also had another plant about half the size that was going through the same thing and it died. i don't want the same to happen to this one. i only water the plant about every 2-3 days not over watering the plant. could it be the weather? it's about 100 degrees here in California, right now i put the plant in a ac room set to 70 degrees. good idea or no?

At 70 degrees that shouldnt really be the problem.

Slide it carefully out of the pot and take a look /feel around the roots. You will know straight away if they are:

(a) Underwatered, because it IS a possibilty! You should feel some moisture a round those roots and they should not be over warm. if its very dry around the roots its asking for a drink!

(b) Overwatered, saturation around the roots. Both ways CAN cause a plant to droop like that! If saturated, add a couiple of inches layer of clean dry soil to the bottom of the pot and put it back, the roots will quickly find refuge in the drier soil and recover. Let it dry out well.

I can't see it being anything other than one of the above 2 reasons. Its not lack of light, that does not happen. Its nothing to do with lack of nutes so dont be tempted to go that route, the leaves are green and healthy. Possibly the high temps could affect it, try to get a fan running through it and rememeber she will need to drink more water.

Check your roots and let us know?

I dont think the westher will be doing that, I have a outdoor one in Socal as well, and have not seen any heat issues.

Take a picture of the bottom roots if posssible to help dignaose a little better.

Are you saying that you have only 20 watts on the plant? If so, it definitely needs more. Everything I have read indicates a minimum of ~3000 lumens per square foot is needed, and that is much less than optimal.

Without an adequate amount of usable light (see kelvin ranges), it cannot produce enough energy to continue growing, and if it is really deficient in light, it can kill it.

Hope this helps. Good luck to you.
