To revive your Knautia, start by assessing your current watering schedule. Consider how often you water and the amount you use.

Next, check the soil moisture. You can do this easily with a moisture meter or simply by using your finger to test the soil's dampness.

Once you have this information, adjust your watering accordingly. Increase or decrease the frequency based on the soil's condition to ensure your plant gets just the right amount of hydration.
