Let’s face it – we don’t always take perfect care of our plants. If you’ve ever had a houseplant that’s started to droop or die off, here’s a simple care recipe to bring it back to life.
Often times it’s as simple as:
1. Remove dead plant matter
2. Repot in a slightly larger pot
3. Refresh the soil and add in new organic matter
4. Give it a GOOD soak
5. Leave it in perfect conditions and pray!

Take it out of this pot gently he says, yanks it right out
Hi hansom, what is "pur light" and how do i find this in America? What is "work castings"?
I heard rumors that plants require water to live, is this true?
My basil my sister bought was neglected and dying so I made it my mission to save it and once it grew and healed I put it into my garden “which I’m still new to” and can’t wait to see it grow with everything else I got going 🙂 I’m 24 and live alone so still a little new for me in routine
Do you have the follow up video or how this plant looked after you changed the pot?
Okay Kevin. So I get this vid is three years old. But I came across it because I have this Ravenea that looks way worse than your dracaena did at the time of this video. Anyway my peeve – or inquiry – is why in the heck do garden centers sell plants that are inevitably not going to thrive in the zone in which they’re selling the plant. And why on earth would they sell a non-native plant? It’s annoying to a new gardener like myself who just doesn’t know any better. I’m a tad wiser now. Thanks to gardeners like yourself I follow. But it’s something not often talked about even in the gardening world. I mean that Ravenea looked so gorgeous at the garden center. I don’t think I can revive mine (zone 8a).
Thank you!! I'll use these steps 5 of my darlings look just like that after leaving them behind during a long distance move.
should that clay pot first be soaked in water, so that once plant / soil are added the dry pot doesn't pull moisture from the soil?
Hey! I know that guy! Looking for some guidance on a sad inherited dracaena that was left at the office during COVID times and stumbled across this video and now I’m starstruck. BRB sad plant, gotta go look up Kevin in our first grade yearbook. Haha!
Is it ok to just trim off the yellow/brown tips rather than the whole leaf?
That’s funny! It was tag probably caused root rot??
How long of a vacation did you go on f*** my plants don't look like that after 2 weeks of no water lol
My plants ALWAYS DIE on me. I either overwater or not water enough.
How much water is appropriate for a plant this size?
Fabulous ✨✨✨
Better transfer your plants in a bigger pot,
I reported mine into a smaller pot because I put it into too big a pot and was getting very full on top and lanky on the bottom. When I transplanted I cut some of the very thick roots. Will this hurt
What if all of the leaves come off because that happened to me and not sure what to do
I HAVE A PONYTAIL PALM THAT IS DOING THE SAME THING BUT, IT IS NOT NEGLECTED. I KEEP MY HOUSE THE EXACT SAME TEMP, HUMIDITY, AND LIGHT AS IT HAS ALWAYS HAD AND THAT KEPT IT HAPPY. BUT, IT IS DROOPY AND THE LEAVES ARE VERY LIGHT IN COLOR. WHAT DO I DO? IT DOES NOT NEED A WATER
what did you put after perlite?
Could someone tell me if there was a follow up video…? I can’t find it…
That was great. Now to find the follow up video. Lol
