Hacks to bring dead plants back to life

There is nothing more heart sickening to see the plant that you have planted and worked on to grow, dying.

To some people plants are like their members of the family and they take utmost care of them like they take care of their family members. So when something happens to them, like death, they feel like one of their family members is going away. So here are some tips to revive dead plants for those who love their plants like their loved ones and don’t want to lose them.

Find out whether actually the plant is dead or not

Sometimes from an apparent view, your plant might seem to have died, but there might be some signs of life in it. Look for any signs of greens on your plant and if it is there, there’s still a hope to revive it. You can also look at the roots and give valuable nutrients to the roots so that it can revive itself.

Watering them correctly is the main thing

If you see that your plant is dying, don’t panic, just find out whether you are overwatering them or underwatering them. Both are equally bad for your plant, if you have overwatered your plant then there are high chances that the roots of your plants are starting to rot. Moreover, you will also see signs that the leaves of your plant are turning yellow. Similarly, if you underwater your plant, it will start to dry off from the roots. You will see that the leaves are getting brown and then falling off. If you see these signs then simply check whether you are watering them properly or not and you will be good.

 Trimming away the dead parts

As I have said in the first part, if you see any signs of green then that means there is hope. So if you see that some parts of the plant have gone brown and some parts are green then you have to trim the brown dead parts. Doing so new life can emerge from the green areas and your plant can get a new life.

 Expose your plant to enough light

Sometimes your plant just needs some light, sunlight. Find out whether your plant is getting adequate light or not. Light helps them in the process of photosynthesis and they can breathe well. So, make sure your plant gets adequate sunlight.
