I bought this from homebase Oct last year.  It was greenish.  I notice the leaves are turning to yellow / brown slowly since March.   Can anyone advice me how to save this plant.  Thanks in advance!!

    Maybe a can of green spray paint? For the future though you should probably know that plants need watering :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I'm afraid that it's an ex conifer now, as dead as Monty Pythons parrot. 
    It was planted in too small a pot and probably died from hunger and thirst underneath the door canopy.
    Sorry 😞

    It definitely is a goner.

    Hi @alex1442   :) 

    Next  time you buy a plant, show us what you've got and we'll tell you what to do with it, so to speak  ;)

    Or even better, tell us what you're thinking of buying and we'll tell you whether it'll suit your needs or not  :)

    That looked to be quite an expensive purchase too!
