Was gifted this cycamen a week ago as a sympathy plant. Didn’t water or look at it until today 😬 will it come back or is it a loss?

Sorry for your loss. ❤️‍🩹 she looks like she needs water to me. I would try bottom watering her. She can still bounce back after just a week I think. 💗

if it’s green it will grow 🤍

She perked up overnight. Should I prune off any of the yellow leaves or should I leave them to die off?
