It's either dying or I'm killing it! I've had this plant for 2 years - never a problem for the first year - it bloomed & looked gorgeous. Last summer I tried to 'help' it by getting a larger self watering pot. It showed it's (un)happiness by refusing to flower. So I finally moved it back to it's 'original' pot a few months ago. The leaves were still looking good & I figured it would start blooming eventually. Then my leaves started dying. If you take a close look, the leaf stem turns brown near the base, the leaf starts shriveling & then dies. I've always used AV plant food in the water, just not as much during the winter period. I'm not doing anything different. What's happening?? Thanks.
