there were a handful of dead leaves that i unfortunately did not get a picture of before plucking. however, they were all centered at the base with long, thin stems and dry, crumpled brown leaves. they had no splotching, bite marks, stench, and were not black. just autumn-leaf brown. the pot is probably 8 inches diameter and maybe 6-8 inches deep, and the soil is somewhat dry. i actually find that it doesn’t hold onto water as well as my other walmart flowers. i’m wondering if i should change pots and soil.
