My plant was give to me by a Lowe’s that was just going to throw it out. It came brown and withered and I’ve tried to not water it too much, but it’s rained all week. I have now moved it inside. How do I keep my plant from dying further? 😭😭

Hello!  In my area this plant is grown as an annual and not a perennial, so maybe it’s just reached about the end of its lifecycle? I’m not an expert, but my experience has been that once it gets hot these don’t do so well and tend to dry up and die off. Perhaps if it’s produced any seeds you’ll get some new ones next spring!  Others may wish to chime in on their experience.

I have a pot of them and they are actually becoming more vibrant, if anything. It's grown as an annual here too. I'm still new to plant care, but has it had fertilizer recently? It might need more nutrients or repotting.

I would keep it outside in the full sun. I think that is what they crave. I would give it a few days and see what f it perks up.  I let mine go without water too long and it dried up, but then came back. They seem to drink a lot of water if in the hot sun
