Aww 🥺 how do the roots look #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-28에 답변했습니다. I don’t have soil so I’m not too sure if it’s smart for me to take it out and check ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵님이 2025-04-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. I've neglected mine before pretty bad but she came back around but she wasn't this bad #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. Yeah I went out of town for a few days but I thought it would be fine because I followed the sick plant guide but maybe it wasn’t enough :( ### Lala님이 2025-04-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. Just trim/prune, water and check soil when you can it will usually come back eventually #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. What do you mean by this? #### Lala님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. Trim back or remove the dead leaves make sure it’s watered and just watch it. Mine was like that and I trimmed the dead leaves off and it took off and grew like crazy #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. Do I cut it off on the root? #### Lala님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. No just cut off where you see brown or yellow leaves #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. So around the edge before it gets to the root? _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵님이 2025-04-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I would peel off all the dead leaves and fertilize that girl I feel like she'll come back ,💛🪴 #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. Which fertilizer do you recommend? ### KJM님이 2025-04-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yes, prune off all the damaged and dying leaves, fertilize with an all-purpose fertilizer (all fertilizer packages have an guaranteed analysis on it. It will be three numbers you want to choose a fertilizer that the three numbers are close like 12 12 12 or 12 8 12. You don't want any one number to be a lot larger than the others. When you were able, tip it out of the pot and check the roots. Trim off any mushy or bad looking roots. They should be white or light brown or green. If the pot does not have a drain hole, change pots. Fresh soil never hurts. #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. So what should I go out and buy tomorrow from Walmart or a plant store? Any recommendations?? ### KJM님이 2025-04-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. There are many brands that will be fine. Miracle-Gro is a common one. You dissolve it in water according to the directions and just water it in. One more comment, sometimes you want the numbers to be different for example if you want something to flower the middle number would be larger but for this purpose you want an all-purpose fertilizer. #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. I’m so lost by your statement could you tell me in dumb man terms #### Adri님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. By the numbers, they mean the numbers on the label of the fertilizer which stand for the NPK ratios of that fertilizer. NPK stands for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). So for example, 12-12-12 fertilizer has 12% of the package is Nitrogen, another 12% is Phosphorus and another 12% is Potassium. I think this is info overload for just getting started and wanting to save this plant! You can try a plant food liquid fertilizer for indoor houseplants or sprinkle granules on top of the soil (like Osmocote) and then water. #### Kyoda님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. Do you have any pictures of product I should buy? ### KJM님이 2025-04-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Get Miracle-Gro all-purpose plant food with analysis numbers that are the same like 12 12 12 or 20 20 20. At some point in the future you may have a plant that you want to flower then you would get a fertilizer with a different formula but you can cross that bridge when you come to it later. or #### KJM님이 2025-04-29에 답변했습니다. If you still feel confused, I would go to a garden center rather than Walmart or even home Depot. Garden center personnel are more likely to be able to help you find what you want. They'll be able to show you the numbers that I refer to. Walmart and home Depot personnel often don't have enough knowledge to help you. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
