# Hello! So my poor little plant wasn’t watered well when it was first…

Hello! So my poor little plant wasn’t watered well when it was first brought home. What I want to do is cut out all the dead and let the alive part take over. It is a Pilea Depressa and its tag says Tiny Tears. Will it repair its own leaves or do I cut out the dead?

Cut out the dead. It'll never grow back.

Remove the unhealthy parts, shell divide off shoots and become fuller! There’s hardy little guys 😃
