# So my husband found a plant where he works and brought it home for…

_Geplaatst door Sharon op 2024-04-04_

So my husband found a plant where he works and brought it home for the pot only…but I took it upon myself to try and save it…there is still greenery and the roots were somewhat still alive…I saved what I could and replanted a couple things…but by the looks of it…am I just wasting my time and maybe I should just throw it out or is there any hope for it? Let me know if you guys have brought back plants from the dead…thank you 🫤🤔 Haven’t a clue what it is.

Check the roots!!! If there are still white or green in the roots you can almost always save the plant

Have you checked for root rot?

#### Sharon antwoordde op 2024-04-05

Yes…and the roots look ok.

Then yesss absolutely try give it your best shot! Will be so rewarding if you do! And if you don’t then it’s fine, at least someone tried before it died 🪴
