Hello, does anyone know if this plant is dead? I haven’t watered it in a long time so I am not sure. Thanks

Still green so I would say yes, it’s probably still alive! Check the bottom with a spoon or something else blunt you can poke it with. As long as it doesn’t feel mushy or look yellowy anywhere it should still be fine.😊

Thank you!

You’re welcome!❤️ My son had one he forgot about for months in a planter on his windowsill and it got much thinner than that. It will tell you if it’s alive or not for sure once you water it. His had started dying on the inside so it showed the rot on the outside once we watered it. Water it and wait a week or two, then you’ll know for sure!😬

Looks pretty alive to me I would pot it in a terracotta pot with drainage and a cacti soil and soak the soil completely and once the soil drys completely wait a few days and soak it again (only use this method if you have drainage holes!)😊
