Mine is turning brown also. I've had it for about a wk. I repotted it in long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite. It has been in a watering tray since the repotting. Several of the leaves have turned brown & were wilting. I trimmed the dead ones off. It is in a sunny location in a south window along with a small LED grow light. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You have to grow them outdoors and put them in a tray of water and they like to be very wet.

Not exactly true. You really shouldn't stand them in water. As for the above plant, it appears to be a goner...

@Yates - Difficult to tell from the photo, are you sure that the moss is Sphagnum, looks like it could be carpet moss. Where did you get it?
