Subject: d.capensis stopped growing?  Why?

And here I am again, just a day later!

One of my d.capensis in my terrarium has stopped putting out leaves. I
have three, one normal, one wide-leaved, and one .alba (no red color).
The wide-leaved one has no new leaves growing up from the center, while
the other two are still putting them up regularly - Those two have
started to flower, in fact. I noticed that a lot of the leaves looked
kind of yellow, too.

Why might the plant have stopped growing? I don't think it's the light,
that hasn't changed. It's the same water and humidity and light as all
the other plants which are thriving. Could it be the soil?

This is the first sick plant I've had to diagnose. :)
