# Hi friends! I have had a rough and busy couple of months and…

_Posted by Bailey on 2026-01-10_

Hi friends! I have had a rough and busy couple of months and unfortunately my plants have experienced the brunt of the neglect. They haven't been watered in a few months but I did repot them this past summer. I do not know exactly when the last watering occurred but I know they were definitely watered in September, not sure about after. They sit on my windowsill so they get direct light when it hits them. I believe they are a bunny ear cactus, dog tail cactus, and zebra plant. The photos attached are them now (extremely sad, i know. i have apologized to them many times) and then photos of when i first got them. If anyone has any advice I would be very glad to hear it. My goal is to nurse these babies back to life. For reference I have had them since about 2022. I know it is bad, but is there any hope?

I’m so sorry that you’ve had a rough couple of months! Some plants can be forgiving and it looks like with some regular watering these might make a come back. Remove the dead and dried parts as they come up. They might get a little worse before they get better
