The plant is drying because there is no drainage , I suppose. The packing of the soil mixture is very important, so also the soil mixture in proper proportion. Do not keep the pot indoors till it grows. Keep it in a shady area in your balcony / under a tree. The plant growth is very slow and one has to watch & wait. Pot filling: Proper filling of the pot is very important: If it is 8' pot , first cover the drainage holes with crokes (broken pieces of the pots). Then fill up with river sand and small stones (Around 2") . Then fill the soil mixture ( 1:1:1 , sand, red soil and leaf mould) . Do not fill up the soil mixture to the full level, but leave about 1 to 1 half inch gap from the top. It is always better to start the plant with a small pot and changing regularly as it grows ( 4' beginning , 6'' and next 8 or 10" pot). Never over water your plants. Most of the people lose their plant by over watering.
