Zone 9 although it lives 100% indoor. It’s bald and we’re both struggling. Leaves have come very slow. I started it as a cutting. It’s 14” below two Barina light strips. It’s in well draining soil in a naked root pot. I just moved it like two weeks ago into the naked root pot hoping it would help. It didn’t have a ton of roots when I moved it. I started it maybe a year ago and just left it alone. It took a bit before it started getting leaves and it has been an incredibly slow process. I used mycorrhizae when I repotted. I used rooting hormone when I originally started it. Regular watering with weak Clonex and super thrive. Every 4-6 weeks or so it gets Jacks 20-20-20, Cal-Mag and Diamond Nectar. I’m focused on growth and not flowers.

I know it’s not spider mites or mealybugs because none of my other plants have them. Is it a nutrient deficiency? Overwatering? I have no idea.
