I am not having luck with growing my bulb indoors, I have it under a grow light, but every time a new leaf comes out and seems to be doing great, a few days later the edges of the baby leaf maybe 1/2 inch big seem to look like it’s drying out on the edges, not curious brown but just drying out, even though I have a plastic lid over it and it’s we’ll moist. I haven’t had luck for it to continue growing because I have to cut it back again. I don’t understand what can I be doing wrong 😢.
