My grandmother gave me this Den. late last year, while it was in bloom. I do not know the full name, but the blooms were a solid dark violet. I recently went on vacation for a week, and hence my house/dog sitter thought it would be good for the plant to be outside. And didnt we just happend to get some soggy rain in this part of Texas?! So now my Den. is looking very sad. The leaves turned a yellow-green, tips have started to turn brown, and it is still very moist. I am by no means an expert. I was only watering it very sparsely before so I have no clue about the diseases or possible complications that can go along with my baby.
At the top of the plant it has very green roots, but all others are a grey/white. Would it be a problem to cut back most of the grey/white roots and just leave the green ones to grow out? It is in a bark medium right now, but since looking around on the site this afternoon I am thinking of making a trip to Lowe's tomorrow
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
