I drove this all the way from Denver to California because a boyfriend gave it to me. It is a mum but it looks horrible now. I pruned it by 1/3 so there are no flowers left. Any revival ideas? any other ideas? It seems to take a lot of water and I have it facing east on a balcony in California. Should it be inside or in a shady place?
