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.

I’ve noticed the wrinkles and I know the color is off, the other side which gets less sunshine is a bit greener. I do not check the ph of my water.
For the time being I’ll try to get a larger bucket to soak it and read about the effect of ph. Is it possible it requires more than one soak a day?

I live in the Dominican Republic in a coastal area, so warm and humid year round. The balcony is roofed but I just noticed I can hang it almost outside of the roof so it may get at least some rainwater. Regarding sun exposure, the balcony is south facing so it receives A few hours of direct sunlight but not all day.
