Expert Response
Yes, the plant does not appear to be doing well. Seedlings and young plants can be sensitive to improper cultural conditions. Have you removed the plant from the container and examined the roots? If the root system is not white and healthy, then likely the plant succumb to stress from any number of factors - too much water, too little water, improper nutrients, not enough light etc.
