# I accidentally left my Swedish ivy outside in the cold and it’s not…

I accidentally left my Swedish ivy outside in the cold and it’s not looking good. Any advice on how to save it?

There are a few bright green leaves underneath near the soil. Should I cut away the withered leaves and stems or give them a chance to perk up?

I would cut the withered stuff and go from square 1.  
Wait to see what others have to say also though.

I cut most of the sad looking leaves off and there’s some green growing back! I’m thinking that it will come back :)
