Danita said:I agree with Will about this plant and would follow his advice.
I purchased this plant a month ago to plant in an outside container. Life happened and I haven't planted it yet. It is still in the 4-5 inch pot that it came in from the nursery. It is sitting outside on my front porch step where it's in the hot, Georgia sun for the first half of the day with 90+ degree temperatures. I haven't seen it wilt once, so far, even when neighboring plants are pouting. It gets watered when the soil looks/feels dry. Your plant looks etiolated (pale & stretched out looking for more light). As Will suggested, it may have root rot if it was overwatered and may not recover.

thank you for the advice!!! i'm going to move it to the sunniest spot and take as many cuttings as i can. now that you mentioned root rot, i can see that it might be so
