# Ookay so I need help. This is my mom’s plant and I’ve been assigned…

_Posted by Oatishkay on 2025-08-20_

Ookay so I need help.  
This is my mom’s plant and I’ve been assigned to try to bring it back to life. I don’t have it yet so I need to look at the roots when I do. Ik it was overwatered but does it look like it has any chance making it?  
Update: by the time I got it, it was already too far gone. Rip little one 😔

Not sure if I’m wrong here, but looks like the root rot got to the plant..  
maybe best to cut off the one that’s green and replant.

Thats pretty iffy but theres always a possibility when you see a nice green part. Take all the dead off and repot the green part in a very small pot. Then time will tell. Good luck! I love success stories so let us know next year if it is still alive with lots of new growth.

It was too far gone 😬

Even if you can get it growing, it’s so badly deformed, it will never look good.

this is so unnecessary… pessimistic and sad. all plants, with the right energy and care, can grow to be beautiful in time ❤️‍🩹
