Because Rae Says So

Too weird to live, too rare to die.

Oh Ms Penny

My Penny the Hydrangea... Oh what have I done.
Penny was really thriving, so many babies sprouting at the base but just a few days ago, I noticed the new leaves were getting shriveled up and when I took a closer look, I spotted some tiny creepy brown crawlies. Panicked, I went to buy some pesticide.
The crawlies died but being a novice, I overdid with the pesticide and poisoned Penny.
Oh. My. God. All her leaves dropped, her tip was dry. I really want to cry.
Just to let you know, the daisy and the rose didn't survive. KL weather was just too hot. But Penny... Penny was a fighter and she still is. I can see her stems are still green. I've repotted her, thinking her soil must be soaked with poison. Hopefully I'm right.
I'm so upset with myself I did that to her. I'm very attached to her; her green hue, color of life, means so much to me. The propagation didn' work by the way.
Oh please Goddess of Mercy, please save her. I don't want her to die.
