I thought FOR SURE my desire down plant was done for cause she got left out well beyond frost cause she was LITTERED with pests and unwanted them gone. All her top ponytail leaves are dry and crispy and being removed but I saw THIS today 👏🏼

I thought for sure she was dead. But I make it a habit to still water on a schedule cause I've had plants more close to death than her recover. Glad I kept her around. Never had a corn plant so exited to see what she's gonna become.

I would love to see updates! So glad she’s making a comeback!
