If it's older foliage only, it might be normal shedding of older foliage. I don't think you need to "spray" (mist?) it. Keep potting media moist, but not soggy. While indoors, give it as much light as you can. Put it outside after threat of frost has passed in spring, if you can. It can be difficult to give them sufficient light indoors. And many cyms require a period of cool nights (less than 50 F) in fall to initiate spikes - yours may, or may not, need it ...
