Well the Goldfinger took a nose dive today...

I came home and both the remaining leaves were crumpled and bent off. I thought it was the heat, but examined the stem and base to find big black mushy spots. Damn! Looks like the root rot got me, and it makes sense due to the leaves being crumpled but yet feeling rubbery still and not dry. WHat do you think? So im going to return it to HD, should i get another Gold Finger or try a different variety?
