I bet it’s saveable! I would pull it out and check on roots for any rot, or it being root bound. Then go from there for what you find. Might need more light too.

What type of plant is it? There’s still green leaves and green in the stem. It will probably be fine.

I can't help - my elephant bush is not doing well either. But there seem to be some little green leaves on yours, it looks like it's really trying! I hope it's okay.
