Well it seemed to not be growing very much so when I went to the nursery I asked them what I could put on it. They gave me some fertilizer and told me how and what to do. So I did and now Im pretty sure it is dead. All of the leaves are brown and dead. Will it come back to life or should I just remove it? Thanks Quote \| Reply \| Report

If there is, it is still alive. If there is not, try another area. You don't have to scratch very hard, sometimes you can do it with a fingernail even. Quote \| Reply \| Report
