Hi everyone, i need help with this plant. I was gifted it by my grandma but she nearly killed it. when i got it the pot was FULL of water. so i dumped it, and repotted it into new fresh soil with liquid fertilizer. and put under grow light. do i need to do anything else? it looks so sad :(

i would probably prune it back and use the clippings to make new plants with a healthier root system. totally up to you though, it should grow back either way with proper care

i will take some clippings and attempt to revive and make more thank youuu

because she was sitting in water it is likely she developed root rot, which you would noticed by a foul smell or slimey roots inside. this is really only cured by completely sterilizing the pot and chopping all the infected roots off, but that’s really hard to do well, so i think propagating from clippings is definitely your best bet. good luck!
