Does this happen to anyone else? You buy a plant. You water it when it needs it. You feed it when it needs it. You put it in a place appropriate to its light and temperature needs. It lives, it grows, it flourishes. And then one day, for a reason that wholly eludes you, it goes like this:

In fact, it looked like that until about a week and a half ago. There are still two or three "branches" that aren't floppy, so there's hope. But what to do? I tend to need to water it once or twice a week, tops, so it was a surprise to see it absolutely swimming in water. Repot? Shove in the greenhouse? Feed? Or compost?
