Poor baby needs some help 😭

This gerbera. She was so lovely last August. Now she’s clinging onto life 😭
We’ve recently moved house and so I’m still figuring out the best placement for my plants light wise, so I’m not sure if this is a result of this.

As you can see from the pics, she ain’t doing too well. I stick to a regular water schedule through Greg (though in the old house I ended up watering her more often), though occasionally my mum will water her just because, so overwatering may be a bit of an issue.

I’ve not seen these colourings on any of my plants before, any ideas?

They are an outdoor annual. Part of the natural lifecycle they die and need to be re planted again each year.
@Hoyaobsessed it just doesn’t look dead? Like those new leaves are still growing
You need to cut off all the unlhealthy leaves and place it where it receives sun for at least 3 hours. That's what I do with mine, and it's healthy. I just gotta be in the lookout cause the more sun, the more water it needs. I also have a humidifier near it and spray the soil so it can stay humid.
@sproutherbology got it, thanks! Before I moved house it was in the perfect spot, but since moving it’s been a nightmare finding good spots for all of my plants 😭
