Iā€™m so sorry!! Thereā€™s really no way to tell if thereā€™s any chance of revival for this one šŸ„². The best way to tell is to take her out of the pot and check her roots. If you see any white roots then there is a chance to save her! But if you see no signs of white roots, then thereā€™s not much more you can do. If you do see white roots than most likely she is still in her hibernating phase. They keep their branches bare through winter- early spring, which we are currently in.. also, try to keep her out of the cold #### yuki antwortete am 2025-04-17 okay!! thank you so much!! when i repotted her, her roots were white! #### LearningPlantMom antwortete am 2025-04-17 Yay thatā€™s good! So sheā€™s probably just still conserving energy for the summer! Just keep her warm, provide sun, and water accordingly. They do best in morning sun and afternoon shade, but in cooler temperatures itā€™s okay for sun all day. On hotter days, protect her from the sun. #### yuki antwortete am 2025-04-17 thank you again, and could you tell me if these roots are white/healthy? when i scratch the outside they are light colored on the inside, they are also firm and hard to break apart ![Anhang 1 von 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2agv52uNZc2bP2agi-XZj3fPpOIdKP0mk7nHewJJqSU/HVFHMTyhTyaw5IDXkyvgcQ.webp?size=large) ### LearningPlantMom kommentierte am 2025-04-18 They definitely could be healthier, but they still look manageable šŸ‘ --- _Die Planta-Community (https://getplanta.com).
