    I think it's probably doomed then if you don't have anywhere to plant it. You could plant it in a large pot but you have to have somewhere outside to put the pot as it won't live inside. Maybe you could donate it to a park or to a friend, or a neighbour who has a garden. Funny thing to be given if you don't have a garden, what was your friend thinking of lol

    [​IMG] Hi Collette,
    Welcome.. [​IMG]
    You could try putting it on a cool window sill as it is probably suffering from shock. They usually do as they are not used to the central heating. Keep it cool & moist & in a position where it is in natural daylight. Try that & see if it stops looking like it wants to die... Hopefully you will see a change in it.. Remember cool.....
