While I was away my husband killed my plant. He says he gave it a little water 😬 should I cut the leaves off? \& hope it grows back?

I’m guessing it’s not actually dead. I’d give it water and get rid of anything that’s crispy then wait to see if it bounces back.

Thank you!

Is it a croton? If so they are so picky

#### Lmwnanny ha risposto il 2026-10-04

Yes. I haven’t had any problems until now

I repotted my last November and it dropped all leaves! I ended up cutting it down to a stump. Gave it a grow light and extra care. Now it’s coming back. Slowly

I took off the leaves. Hoping it grows back. Thanks for your info.
