# I just wanted to share an update on my poor prayer plant. A couple…

_Posted by P’s Plants on 2024-02-15_

I just wanted to share an update on my poor prayer plant. A couple months ago I posted here asking for advice about this little guy. I took it out of the soil and saw the roots looked alright, so I moved it to water and it’s been there for the last month or so. As of a week ago, we have a new baby leaf!! I am beyond happy about this🥲 Just goes to show maybe not every plant that looks 100% dead actually is.

I would cut away all that dead stuff so your new leaf has room to grow.

Yay! Yes, keep all the dead stuff trimmed up while he comes back to life! 👏🏼🌿
