My Curly Slim was thriving, blushing, spiking and suddenly stopped. Her leaves are turning back to green (??). She's perfectly healthy, well hydrated, gets bright, indirect light and plenty of fresh air.
It’s fine, just putting its energy into the bloom/flower that’s forming. It’ll be pretty.

Assuming the photos are in chronological order. The leafs are progressively getting less curly indicating that it’s properly hydrated and the loss of red color is often due to a reduction in light strength/amount. It might be thinking the rainy summer season has started and it’s better to postpone the bloom until the next dry/blooming season. It’s also clearly mature enough to bloom, so it will probably put the excess energy into producing pups to increase it’s number of flowers next time around. You can try to trigger it into blooming but i’d wait at least a few months with that, increasing the strength/amount of light and creating a bigger temperature difference between day and night would probably do it, though it all varies a bit per species.

It takes more energy to get an inflorescence.
