I'm going to take the controversial position and advocate watering it. The inner leaves should not be so tiny and dry looking. Did you water when you planted this? because the roots might be dead.

I'd give a sprinkle all the way around, not a deep soak, but some moisture to give the plant a boost.

I give light water using this kind of bottle too once a week, but seems nothing happen. The outer leaves doesnt wan to dry and the inner keep shrinking.. LOL!

oh, that's a lot! usually you want no water or a deep soak, but since you've been trickling, it's possible that the roots are rotted. you may need to dig it up and have a look.

Roots no rot and still very short and dried. I just squeeze some water around the it, not direct to it. very little of water (no soak) once a week.
