I don’t know what to do with this plant, it doesn’t look very healthy and the other parts of it has fallen off. Any ideas?

You should check it for root rot and see if it is root bound. If it is replace the soil and put it into a bigger pot :)

Thanks 😊

I imagine it’s root rot as the stem looks quite brown. You could remove it, get rid of the rotted roots and replant it in fresh soil. Give it 3 weeks to acclimate then water it sparingly. Do you have a moisture meter? These should be bone dry before watering.

Thanks, I’ll try that
