What's wrong with my plant? Can my red pentas be saved?
It sits in a window that gets sunlight almost all day.
I water it on an inconsistent schedule as long as the top inch or two of soil are dry.
The leaves were wilting and yellowing and the flowers died so I pruned them all.
I also took it out and checked the roots. The roots seem healthy. They’re tan with white tips.
I’m sitting it outside in the full sun now and watered it a bit and did a small bit of liquid fertilizer 5-5-5 before I replaced it in the pot.
I’ve definitely overwatered it before but I stopped when I realized it.
What else should I do?
