It's common to face challenges in keeping indoor plants healthy, especially when life gets busy. Whether it's infrequent watering or inadequate light, understanding and rectifying the issues is key to plant revival. Here's how to give your precious plant a new lease on life:

1. Pruning: Start by taking out your scissors. Trimming dead branches, stems, and leaves is crucial as they can further drain a struggling plant. Be careful to preserve any part of the plant that shows signs of life.
2. Providing Right Nutrients: Assess if your plant needs additional nutrients. A bit of fertilizer, or even organic materials like coffee or tea, can sometimes help. Remember, each plant has unique needs, so it's important to research what your particular plant requires to bounce back.
3. Investigate the Cause: Determine what led to the plant's decline. If the roots are cramped, consider repotting. If the soil dries out too quickly, look into ways to increase humidity around the plant.
4. Adjusting Light: Ensure your plant is receiving the right amount of light. Too little or too much light, indicated by yellowing or burned leaves, can be detrimental. Adjust the plant's position and monitor its response. A recently trimmed plant generally needs less light than a healthy one.
