Is there any saving him?
I’m so disappointed in myself because my Fukien tea tree was doing amazing 😭 but then I got very busy and waited a little too long to water him and now he looks like this… is there any saving him or is he gone? #help #savemyplant #FukienTeaTree

Of course!!! Those who know me, know I never give up on a plant til they cry Uncle!! Never gone, just make sure soil isn’t pulling away from pot and go to watering! Allow it to pool atop and soak in, twirl pot if need be, then keep it up like that til water drains out the bottom. If the soil IS pulling away from pot, u may have to take further steps, from simply loosening the dirt or all the way to repotting! If u repot, make sure u use lots of perlite & chonky stuff like orchid bark, charcoal coir etc. Substrates that allow aeration. I use an Aroid soilless mix by Very Plants and it works great. This issue is very fixable. Going forward, use chopstick to check that soil is dry then water as above and u will be fine!!!
