    I have no idea what my plants name is but it is my most favorite. I am trying to save it. It has big thick smooth edged leaves at the base and a long stem from the center that gives beautiful coral colored flowers. I am in desperate need of help to save it. I think I may have shocked it switching it to a new pot.
    Please help

    i put in a spot that gets shade and sun. i will be putting it in some fresh potting soil with some vitamin b1. i think it is over watered. hopefully it will do fine. I will know better next time.
