I am quite distraught. Shamu Butterpot, P.I. is dying.

Yes, already!

I have no idea what the problem could be. I gave him water (but not too much). I gave him light (but not too much). But his green leaves are turning brown and falling off.

I think Shamu Butterpot, P.I. is part bamboo and part palm. Maybe these parts are warring, making him sick, sapping his poor little life away.

Alas, poor Shamu Butterpot, P.I.; I knew him, Horatio.

If there are any botanists out there willing to make an emergency house call, there is some nice green tea in it for you.
