I actually repotted it a couple of days ago, as a last ditch effort to save it, because it's always been in the original pot since I got it. I put it outside over the summer, sinking the clay pot down into the ground, and it did great. When I repotted it, the root system looked very healthy and extensive. I inspected the roots and could see nothing out of the ordinary, and I looked the soil over really well, too, and saw nothing.

Too wet...that's a possibility I supposed, but it's always soaked up the water like crazy since I brought it inside. It sits fairly close (15 inches) to our baseboard heater in that room, so that probably is why it craves the water. However, I may have given it too much too many times in a row.

Here's a picture. Is there still hope for it, do you think?
