Ventrata help!

This guy has been a pain to me. Always has and probably always will. The main growth started to die off months ago and since then it threw off three large basal’s. Don’t worry about the white spots on the foliage, that’s just a mixture of baking soda and water. I guess my question is what’s wrong with it. No changes in environment recently. Same humidity and temperatures as most of my other plants.

If the main growth point is dead then all the energy is now going into basals. What seems to be the problem?

The main growth isn’t completely gone yet. I just want to try to salvage it, I just don’t know how.

Can’t help if you don’t describe your growing conditions. Light type, how much and how long? Humidity level? Grow media composition?

Of course. Low light; only gets morning sun then filtered light for rest of the day. Humidity is 50-60%. 50/50 perlite lfsm.

and temperatures? By the way, is that in a windowsill? Do the windows have any coatings? Maybe you need to supplement the light with LEDs?

Temps are 67 at night and 75 during the day. Yes, windowsill. No coatings or filters on the windows. I do have a large LED light I could put it under. Should I try that?
