Dying Plant
I bought a plant called Astilbe Rhythm and it's the second plant I have bought that had started to discolour and die! The soil is moist and it's gets some sun light, but I feel I have killed it! Do I cut the leaves that have died? Or is it dead and it can't be fixed? Should I plant it in the ground? I'm very upset.

This website tells what you what to do with Astilbe's and when to do it. The main point seems to be, they need moist conditions, but there's lots of other tips as well. Hope you can save your plant.

I would definitely use the plant food...and it probably would be a good idea to cut off the dead leaves...there could be a disease in the plant that could be causing this...or in the soil you're using...I would suggest re-potting it in a new type of soil and see how that works out...maybe one with moisture control so it only takes in water when it needs it...you could be over watering it

yes use the plant food my mom used to be a plant waterer and she says that plants like to get really wet and then get dry and then get watered again my suggestions is do not keep it wet all the time bad idea, if its an outside plant then maybe plant it but i dont suggest it because that might put it in shock maybe just put it outside in the sun and dont cut off the dead stuff in my opinion it might afflict it somehow
