Answer 2

Is it in a pot or the ground

@outlook it will survive in the ground is it a small pot or a big pot its got flower buds on it now if you havnt been feeding it feed it now them flowers will open

Erm it's probably a medium sized pot I think. I think I have some plant food so will try that thank you x x

Answer 3

You have a few buds, that will make it easier to identify when they open.
