# Someone put this poor thing in the dumpster, so I had to rescue it!…

_Gepostet von Karson am 2024-05-31_

Someone put this poor thing in the dumpster, so I had to rescue it! It’s definitely not been taken care of: very dry, no good support, and lots damage. But it looks very well established and I have high hopes it will bounce back with a little proper care!  
Any tips on reorienting leaves to face a common light source?  
(yes I did take the cute plant stand they threw away too).

I’d face it toward a single light source and wait!

Looks like it has some pest damage so definitely treat it. I would rinse the roots and replace the soil just in case
