    Could need a feed or could be a bit too wet. Is it getting enough light?

    I'd hazard a guess that its Mrs Cloudy's too wet. If you've grown it from seed, then if it was light, you would have had a spindly leggy seedling beside being light in colour.

    Feel the weight of the pot - if it feels very quite heavy then its too much water. If it is too damp, then repotting (removing the existing) into fresh composts with sharp drainage (50:50 compost and perlite/vermiculite) may deal with the problem
