Planta identified this plant as an Elephant Bush so I treated it like one and hardly watered it. As I went to water it tonight I noticed it had SO many dead crispy leaves. So I decided to try a different identification app and am now realizing it’s a Baby’s Tear and has been neglected for months 😕 (I picked most of the dead leaves off already). Is there any saving it??

    i bet if you just give it a couple months of the right care routine it will bounce back! it looks a little sad but not at all hopeless.

      I repotted it into regular soil instead of the succulent soil it was in, gave it a good water, and put it under a grow light. I hope it bounces back I feel so bad!!
