| Purple leaves are usually a sign of OVER lighting. If underlit the entire leaf will be purple, not just the edges as yours are. On some Phals purple edges (or undersides) are a natural coloring and nothing to worry about. New leaves emerging from the crown are often purple and turn green as they mature to full size. I agree that it is ready for a re-pot, but if only the bottom leaf is wilting it just may be dying and lived out it's natural life. If it turns yellow and eventually pulls off easily and no other leaves follow suit, this is the case.
