That said, discover how to revive a dead plant, thanks to simple gestures.
Houseplants need regular maintenance to keep them vigorous and lush. With simple gestures, you bring a wilted plant back to life.
How to revive a dead plant?
Before attempting to save a wilted plant, you must first check if it is still possible to revive it. For this, it is worth checking the stems. Cut off the base and see what color the inside of the stem is. If you find a green coating, it means that the plant can still be saved. On the contrary, if the inside of the stem is brown and also breaks easily, it means that it is no longer possible to put the plant back. In case it is still possible to save it, here are the simple steps to follow to bring it back to life.
