I bought I’ll of these dying plants for $5 total. The baskets the pots were in were worth more than that for each of them and I got 13. Can I bring these back to healthy? Or should I just take the win with the baskets and let the plants go?

As long as there is some green and life, you can bring them back. I would trim off whatever is wonky or it looks like it’s not doing well. Check everyone’s roots and repot or propagate. Happy growing!

Yep. Check everyone's roots. If there are good roots present, remove any rotting ones, repot and place them where they can get some good light. They are going to look sad for a long time. Probably most of next year. But if treated correctly, they will bounce back.

I can't see the plants close up even if i zoom in so i can't give you an accurate answer or opinion..

Hi Karzdan, on my iPad I can double tap the pic and then pinch it open wider and it zooms in. Is how we “pan an image. I don’t know if this helps. 🤷🏽‍♀️happy growing. I agree with your comments!

That zz will def make a come back. Even if you lose all the leaves just place her in a west facing window and she’ll grow again.
