There might be a slim chance! I would definitely pull it out of that soil and check to see if you have any roots worth saving! More than likely will need to be repotted into a smaller pot. Looks like it could be staying too moist, especially if there’s no drainage holes or not draining effectively. Add some perlite to the soil to make it a bit more airy if you decide to repot. Good luck!
I've repotted it in a smaller pot with lots more holes than the blue one had, all the roots looked good and strong and not brown and rotting. I've seen and heard that some blood and bone fertilizer can help, do you think that'd be a good idea?
@ZealfulNeem72 Awesome! Never heard of that fertilizer before, but would wait a bit for it to get used to the new pot before fertilizing. I would also start out with 1/2 of the strength just to be on the safe side!
@S.ham13 Thank you so much for your advice, I'm praying there's some life left in my girl πŸ™
@ZealfulNeem72 of course! Fingers crossed 🀞🏼
@S.ham13 Hey I've noticed the leaves have unfortunately all died off but there's still lots of healthy looking buds in the soild. Do you reckon they'll continue to grow back into leaves? I think they might if I keep the soil healthy
@ZealfulNeem72 I’m so sorry! Just now seeing this 😭 Hopefully it’s showing some growth by now! If the buds look decent, I would water it as you normally would. Definitely worth trying!
