I don’t see any green but you could try a thorough watering and see if anything spruces up? Otherwise it doesn’t look good. It happened to mine but it had a few green leaves left and I removed all the dead and it is slowly coming back.

Theres still some color in it. Would a dead leaf be fully brown?

#### LM님이 2025-04-16에 답변했습니다.

Yes or just all crispy and dry.

I've seen plants go from super crispy to happy as a clam at high tide. Hang onto hope, thoroughly soak the soil and give it some time! Good luck!

Oh my! A few days gone? Or a few WEEKS? 😢 You could try, like LM said, giving her a good soaking for an hour or so to see if that helps. Then wait a couple of days and see if there’s any life left.

Just a few days :( she was super healthy when i left

So sorry! But keep your fingers crossed. She may yet pull through.

I would suggest just watering it good and waiting. From my understanding I gather they basically like to practically die the minute they get thirsty, but they park right up with a drink.
