Stalks of leaves are falling off, the edges of the yellow blooms are dry,
even the buds.

The plant has most likely lived its short life in a greenhouse, in a
carefully controlled environment of optimal humidity, water, and light.
Taking it out of the greenhouse, into the store was a shock to it, then into
the very different, and harsher, environment inside the house, has caused it
quite a bit of trauma.

I would more gradually acclimatize it to the outdoors, though. Make sure its
in a south facing window, keep the window open as much as possible, and take
it outdoors during the day for a few hours, sheltering it from any strong
winds. After a couple weeks, let it stay out overnight, and see how it does.

Then plant it, using the proscribed dilution of vitamin B-1 plant starter.

Be sure to include it in your spray program! I don't spray the leaves as
long as with the others, but I still make sure they are covered top and
bottom.
