I was given this plant to revive and not sure where to start! It was my grandmas and she’s going through a lot right now and hasn’t been able to keep up with her plants. This guys been living in her garage since July! Any tips are GREATLY appreciated I’m really bad at keeping this type of plant thriving. I would love to revive this guy and gifted it back to her ☺️☺️

Humidity and sunlight. Don’t water if the soil is already wet. They are such over the top difficult dramatic plants. They will be the death of me😂😢😡😡 Good luck!

If she’s been in a garage graduate the light so she doesn’t burn. Pull her out and look at her roots. If ok - great. If they’re brown try putting her in some new soil and let her recover

mine loves a self watering pot, water once every 8 weeks and forget about her in between 🤷🏼‍♀️
