I bought a cytisus racemosus (broom) a few weeks ago at Columbia Road flower market in the UK. It came in a pot and was just about to bloom.

Now it looks like its dying, 3 weeks after buying it... What have I done? I kept it in its pot It's not cold, outside, it got oodles of sunshine etc etc. Did I overwater? The leaves seem dry and dead.

I'm a little frustrated because a lot of plants I've bought at this flower market have fizzled out in the past... is this a trend?

p.s. I moved the plant indoors to take photos as it's dark out right now. It lives outside on my balcony.

If there are problems with lots of plants from that flower market, it may be the condition in which they are brought to the market. Maybe root damage.

How often are you watering it and when you do water, how much does it get?
