2) Identify the plant and figure out what you need to provide to get the

figure it out.

The plant may have picked up a fungal or viral disease you're just not
seeing, and may still die. But in my experience, repotting has pretty
good success as a last-ditch effort to save a potted plant that you
don't know what's wrong with it.

Thanks, Kay, and to everyone else who offered advice. To those few
who implied I was irresponsible for purchasing a plant I didn't know
how to care for: I didn't. My wife did. Blame her.

Not irresponsible for buying it, but within a matter of days or 2-3 weeks,
it would've been a good idea to get to your library and learn more about the
plant. It's a living thing. You adopted it. It's your job to do the best you
can to keep it happy.
