My 'SAFETY' when a plant is looking bad...pot it up in dry compost...just get a $1.50 bag from Dome Hepot and put the plant in the garage for a week or more. Mine usually hang out in the garage for a month with minimum water...as in a little at 10 days and 20 days. Mark the last cigar leaf with a perminent marker with the date. Check it everyday.
When you pull the plant, you'll be able to see if the roots are dry, wet, rotted. Then sometimes it's just the sun. If memory serves me (when CRS isn't in full swing), the Siam Ruby really loves HOT weather. May have something to do with the temp swings.
Research optimal temperatures for the Ruby. Your 'LOWS' may be the dormant temps and 'HIGHS' may be max. Did a cool front just move through?
Good Luck
