I would take the nursery pot out and set it in a big bowl of water and let her soak up as much as she needs, maybe a few hours I sometimes let them set overnight in the water depending on the type of plant so it can drink what it needs before going back in the decorative pot.

Do you have it in a nursery pot inside@of the decorative pot? She is either very thirsty, or beginning to rot from sitting water.

Also, producing flowers takes an extreme amount of energy so that may be effecting growth as well

@rootedtreasures yes all my babies have a nursery pot. She is well drained and always sucks up the water I pour in decorative pot. Maybe I don't feed enough water. I water her at the right times but clearly not the right amount!!
