To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Forsythia 'Satellite' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Greg did not properly identify my plant. I’m hoping it’s dormant and not dead. Any help identifying it and care for it would be greatly appreciated.

Will it thrive once more? Hi all, I’m new here! I’m a beginner with plants and I always struggle with taking care of them. I bought this Forsythia plant from a nursery in April and it was doing so well. Then a couple of weeks ago the leaves started having little yellow spots and the leaves were sad. I am thinking it was because of where I had it on the porch and we had a lot of rainy days and the water from the roof of my apartment was splattering my plant and made it sick. I also was late in recognizing the spider mites thinking it was just regular spiders making a new home…oops… I ended up just cutting all the sad branches/leaves off and now left with this sad thing. :( I scratched one part of it and it is still green underneath so I have hope for it still. Besides just watering and fertilizing it like normal and keeping it away from the bad side of my porch, is there anything else I should do to help it thrive once more? This plant is super important to me because it is supposed to be in memory of my mom who passed away a couple of days before bringing this home (this was her favorite flower). Thank you! ♥️ (Here is the before and after/now 😭) #Forsythia
