I was gifted a plant a couple months ago. I’ve been a bad parent and have not taken proper care of it. If I miss a watering, it’ll get all depressed like this. After attending to it, it usually recovers within a week, but this time it is having a hard time. Beeple, will it recover or is it a goner? Could I have overwatered it this time? Or does it need more water? I’m scared for my baby, what should I do?

So, some people mentioned already that itkinda looks like a marigold. But somehow no one mentioned that marigolds are annual plants. It is completely normal for them die when the summer is over. In theory they should do that after forming seeds, which yours doesn’t really look like it has done yet (or not yet complted). But if it was indoors or you live somewhere where the conditions for a fertilization aren’t right, it would still die without having formed seeds before.
