That’s correct but unfortunately I live in an apartment so it’s in the balcony. I’ll try soaking it instead of misting. It’s grown lots of roots so I thought it was doing ok.

Your leaves should be more firm and a darker colour.
When I saw your picture I thought of dried hay straight away.
So yeah what people have said, even let it soak in a bucket of water overnight.
The leaves are on the verge of dying and it had no chance of supporting a flower spike.
Look at the leaves closely and you will see what I am talking about, I can literally see wrinkles on your leaves where the dehydrated leaf veins are starting to show.
I am suspecting by the colour of your leaves that you do not adjust the ph of your water - this will cause nutrient lockouts and lower leaves will start to yellow. I would recommend you read up on how the ph can affect your plants - it's more important than feeding nutrients although I am suspecting your plant is looking for a good nutrient feed too.
Don't try to make any radical changes though, you risk doing more harm than good, just soak the plant well for now then look in to getting a ph meter to test your water and go from there.
