Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

...and this is how it looks today. Gave it its own pot an hour ago @beatnikcrab because the other plants in there were thriving and this guy was visibly going downhill. 🤞🤞🤞 Hoping I can save it! #rescueops

Oh wow, huge change! It's hard to say if there's an issue with the light level.. Mostly it just looks super thirsty. Nothing that can't be salvaged, though! I'd work on getting it plumped back up first, and then fine tune the lighting situation. The leaves ARE really dark, but it could be from thirst stress more than sun stress. 🤔

When I took it out of the combination pot the roots were bone dry. I'd watered it just hours before. Maybe the others were just drinking up all the water before it could get any.
