_Posted by Ashley on 2023-08-24_

Hello! i just found this red anne in the garbage (how sad!!) wondering some ways i can try to save it the soil was extremely dry so i watered it hopefully it will perk back up i have it by the window but not in the window i know it likes lower light so i will move it if it needs but i’m not sure how long it was in the garbage so i’m keeping it there for now! any tips on how to help this little plant would be greatly appreciated!!

I’m usually not a mister in a lot of cases, but this plant really needs it…and like, constantly. Poor thing…this species is a good one to consider putting in LECA instead of soil, as it doesn’t like to dry out between watering and really needs that humidity. You’re right about the lighting—I like to consider it an “indirect indirect” and put it quite some distance into the interior of the home. It gets stressed easily. Good luck with this little lady and please keep us updated! ❤️

i’m happy to announce that water and a little TLC has brought her back to life!!! I will move her today just figuring out a good spot but I am so happy (and honestly shocked) that she perked back up so quick! thank you so much i will be misting her throughout the day!

Wow!!! What a quick turn around!!! Gosh whoever dumped it probably did so when it was in good condition…😑

Good job!! 👏🏻

I would recommend a repot soon as well! Never sure what kind of environment it was in previously.

Happy to see it’s doing well however!! I would be so happy if I found this guy in the trash I only ever find pink or silver nerve plants at the store
