trash it
did you remove the foil from the bottom?How often are you watering? Where are they positioned?
They like it cool -68 degrees is what mine likes. - not hot. Do not put near a heat vent. Sunniest window you have. Remove the fancy paper around the pot. Keep well watered, but don't let them sit in water. I water mine over the sink and let it drain. It may need repotting as they tend to out them in trashy soil, not good potting soil. I had one from last year make it to this year and re-bloom. Got a new one this year, and am planning on repotting it this weekend as it is not "happy" in the little pot it was put in - and has dropped a few leaves.
always a problem. I stopped buying them . Look great, then deteriorate quick. They need light,and take up a lot of space, and throw off your return to
normal decorating scheme.
Beautiful plant, prior too, but not after
Holidays. Larger ones cost a lot, not
worth the hassle.
they have been forced, so they're exhausted, and many of them wouldn't survive no matter what care they got.

I keep mine moist and have it direct sunlight and it has done very well
ALWAYS water with ice cubes. about 4 for a 4 in pot,about every 3 days.
Mine is dropping leaves & sending out new green growth everywhere it drops an old leaf. I'll keep & see what it does over time. New growth is pretty.
