Help? Is it dying? #BorderCarnation Hallo all. I hope you are doing well. It's springtime here, and I bought this beauty as a celebration. But now it seems like it is dying. Please help. How do I save it? Should I repot? I don't see any pests on it.

Is my carnation sad? 🥲 Apologies for the second question of the day... but I always receive tons of valuable answers and feedback here, so I wanted to consult this with all of you 🙏🏻. My border carnation has lots of buds ready to bloom, but the leaves seem to be a bit droopy... it's definitely not as lively as it was a month ago 😰. I'd say that the part closer to the soil is turning a bit brownish/yellowish... #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #carnations
