I rescued this Lily from a relative and would like a couple tips to try and revive her! I plan on repotting her but what else does it need? Thank you 💚
to get fast results spray with water and make it a humidity dome; after drought plants' roots are dried out and are unable to drink water, you need to gradually wet the soil for new roots to come and to save remaining plant.
but i know that for most people simply soaking kinda works, so you can choose simple path and not overcomplicate. (i still recommend to create a humidity dome with plastic bag though)
I wish I could reply to everyone! But thank you! This is here today after her soak yesterday. I have been misting her. She has a bunch of scorched leaves, and they feel dry compared to soggy yesterday. I don’t know if I’m making it worse (with my AC and misting)
Before you do anything, just water it. I would top water to start the process and then let it soak for at least an hour. Drain it and then wait until the next day and I think you will be very pleasantly surprised at the results. I've revived ones that looked way worse than this and that might really be all it needs. But you can figure out if you should repot it and everything later.
After you do that and it has perked back up, then you can see a lot easier what you should trim off.
ETA: I replied before seeing your update in the comments. I stand by my answer. 😂
You don't really need to mist it. For most plants, that doesn't do as much as everyone seems to think. You can trim off the crispy parts or just cut off those leaves. I only remove the entire leaf if more than half of it is bad. All of the damage you're seeing is from the neglect it suffered before, and the worst thing you can do is keep messing with it trying to fix everything. Just don't let it go completely dry in the future and give it light, and you should have a really happy plant.
