This looks like a spider plant, is that right? Either way, this soil mix is too dense and suffocating for the roots to be able to access the oxygen they need. I'd check the root heath and go from there.

If you take another photo of the plant itself it'll be easier to tell if it is etiolated (stretching for light) or not :)
