I started growing my 3rd plant about a month or 2 ago in my conservatory, which get lots of light as it is south facing. Recently I went away for 5 days and decided to cover the soil with stones( stop soil drying up) and give it a good water with some miracle grow plant food, so it would not get thirsty.

When I returned my plant went from a lovely healthy looking green plant to a sorry state for a plant, the lower leaves had fallen off and were brown and yellow as in the picture, i have read up and dont know whether this is nutrient burn or something with the soil It is happening to leaves at the bottom and working its way up to the higher leaves.

I also move the plant outside when the weather is good.

Can anyone help and is there anyway to save it? I was thinking if it is the soil to replant it in fresh compost and give it a good water and see if this helps.
