Hello Greggers, Happy Tuesday. So, I do believe this #NewPlantMom killed her fuzzy petiole. The last two leaves are very limp and yellowing. So, my question is can I start over with a geranium or would you recommend I just purchase a new one? Who is the expert to give me the best advice?
10” pot with drainage

@ValleyOfErlease hi and welcome to Greg. I first off have to ask, is this a picture of your plant and its current condition? I’d request to see a current pic. Also, is your soil overly wet? Have you taken it out of the pot to look at the roots? The picture I see here, looks like you could save this plant.

Check the roots, Check for brown and/or mushy roots and cut them with scissors sterilized with alcohol before you put it into the bath. A bath of hydrogen peroxide:H2O 1:3 soaking bath for 10 minutes with this hydrogen peroxide:water dilution.

Change the pot and soil and let it recover. Good luck and happy growing. I almost forgot tag a few groups to get more advice from people..this always helps. Add them to your inquiry post always. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Philodendron
Thank you so much @Arid_oasis That was when I first got him. Here are more recent pictures by
Only two leaves left and they are wilted and yellowing with brown spots. I purchased a meter to tell if the plants were moist at the roots, because many of my plants died from overwatering. When I measured the moisture of this soil it was always reading “wet” so I skipped watering a few times or either gave it less water than Gregg recommended. I just watered him the other day with some Miracle Grow plant fertilizer, and he seems to be perking up a little, but I will definitely try the peroxide:water bath and see if that helps. Thanks again. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Philodendron
