Just rescued this poor thing today from Walmart! Her leaves are drooping and shriveling, but I am determined to bring her back to life!

Have you got any tips/tricks? I got one in a similar condition a month ago and it’s not doing too great

Wow that’s a beautiful plant! This is mine… I’ve completely cut it back as the leaves were so unhappy. But when new leaves come out they seem to be crispy and dead at the ends?

Well I actually just recently repotted it into that pot as it was in a pot that was too big before with the wrong kind of soil. I water it when it seems to be mostly dry, it gets fairly bright light and it’s in soil mixed with perlite.

I think I’ll have to wait and see what the new leaves are like and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I rescued mine from Walmart in similar condition. Prune all the bad leaves, repot in some good soil, and wait patiently! Mine rested and recuperated and just gave me 2 new leaves 2 months later!
