I bought this Siam Chinese Evergreen 3 days ago for $4 with a mission to save it (actually them).

Great job! What did you do to rehab them? Do you know what the problem was?

Thank you! I think they were just severely under-watered and weren’t getting enough light. I split them into two pots with new soil and rehomed the worm that was living in there. Then I propped up the stems with plastic chopsticks and garden Velcro, gave them a good water, and have had them sitting near my east-facing glass sliding door!
