Help with potted Dwarf Eureka

This 1st year pot planting did pretty well last spring and summer. No fruit but lots of new growth and leaves.

As autumn came, started slowly looking pretty blah.... now pale/kind of yellowish leaves. Some misshapen. Discoloration. Occasional drops. Was still getting the 8-10 hrs of sun and appropriate watering/feeding schedule.

Left him out in nice fall temps but brought him in a week or two ago as temps get down into 30s. Will likely keep inside until Feb or March.

Currently:
-Kept in a living room that is pretty well lit. Not much direct sun though. Very dry air where I live. 70ish degrees constant.

-Soil is a little on the peaty side -- will move to 5-1-1 in the spring. It's not horrible potting soil though...has some bark and perlite mixed in.

-There is some CRF still working in the soil. Also gave it a little iron chelates and fish emulsion back in the fall.

-Water once a week.

-those big mulch chips are just on the top to keep the cats from digging.

Should the plant be looking better in Dec? Anything I can/should do now to get it looking better or wait until spring when temps and active growth kicks in?

Thanks for any thoughts.
