2. I'm not familiar with this plant
however some plants have cyclical periods when they do well and then don't. My cylimens for instance, hate hot weather, even in the apartment they die off during the summer. But now that the cooler weather is here, they start up again with new leaves and bloom. Strange.

Perhaps this plant needs more light than you are giving it. A plant will often do ok with an inadequate amount of light for a time, but then will fade. You didn't mention whether it had natural light or not, but a grow light might help if it is in the office under artificial lighting. Repotting often helps too when the old soil is leached of nutrients.
