I just “graduated” from pothos and snake plants and made the terrible mistake of leaving this new baby in a hot Florida car (I know…I’m not proud)

Is it salvageable? What do I do?

Give it a drink and let it chill out and hopefully recover?

Yes! And you can cut off the really burnt leaves

I would keep the largest leaves with less damage and cut off the ones with few green sections left. Those burnt sections won’t recover. Cutting the stems should signal the plant to produce new leaves.🍀🪴

great advice! seconded \& don’t let this baby dry out; she won’t thank you for it

Good point! I can’t have these high maintenance plants at my home. 😁
