Dying Houseplant: Drooping, Browning Leaves on Unknown Species

Critical Information Needed for Diagnosis

A plant with 1.5x2 inch dark green leaves, drooping and browning at edges, with a single main root and many branches. It flowered last spring but not since. Without species identification, light levels, watering schedule, pot size, and repotting history, accurate diagnosis is impossible.

What to Provide for Help

1. Clear photos of the whole plant, leaves (top and bottom), stems, and soil surface.
2. Your USDA zone or general location.
3. Light exposure (direction, hours of direct/indirect sun).
4. Watering frequency and method.
5. Pot diameter and drainage.
6. When last repotted and what soil used.
