Its leaves are starting to turn yellow, but it looks like it is going to flower. i don’t want it to die 😩 images will soon load up hopefully.

I'm not a sweetpea expert but my guess is pot much too small. There's simply not enough room for enough roots to support and feed the plant.

@dairydebris is right, your pot is too small. Sweet peas have very large root systems, they need a big deep pot to keep them fed and watered. Repot in fresh compost, in a pot at least 10-12 inch wide, or larger and deeper, give it Tomorite and lots of water. I would also give it a teepee to wrap around instead of a single cane. I make my teepees with three bamboo canes and garden twine, it takes minutes. Keep giving Tomorite to prolong flowering.

The pot is too small and it needs feeding.
