But why would you want these? Plants are cheap.. you’ll spend the same money fighting pests and repotting as just buying them new. Those are hardly gifts

Plants are not always cheap. Even if these particular ones might be, as long as they’re still trying to live then I think it deserves a shot. Also it’s WAY more satisfying to look at a plant growing happy and healthy and know that you’re the one who brought it back to life.

I love rescuing plants. You learn so much in the process. On the left, I would cut off the dead lower part. Let them dry at least a week out of any direct light and then repot with some rooting powder. Looking at the left I would do the same but likely only let it dry a couple days before potting up with rooting powder.
