Believe it or not, I almost threw this plant away when I walked into the shop yesterday to water. It had completely dried out in its 2” pot, soil hard as a rock. All its leaves were closed up and flopped over, its bloom had fallen off. BUT, I stand by the “water it & see” method. Hell, half the plants in my house wouldn’t be alive without the belief that nothing is dead until it’s dead & watered.
A little water, a new pot & a day later, & this guy looks good as new. He still hates me picking him up & gosling him though 🤣
Your plants are worth giving another chance. My favorite plants are always the ones I’ve almost killed. They feel like personal success stories. Little reminders that keep me going when a plant inevitably does die.
Remember, nothings dead until it’s dead & watered 😉
