Indoor plants can also get dried up or look dead. Here are five ways to save your drying or dead plant.

Check Whether the Plant is Truly Dead or Not

First, look for signs of life in your plant which appear to be dead. You may think your plant is dead when the leaves start to look brown and the stem turns dry, but inside, the branch will surely be greenish.

Get Rid of Dead Foliage

Cut all your plant's dead parts to save plants. If your plant stem is also dead, but the root shows signs of life, then cut the stem and only leave 5 cm of stem above the ground.

Ensure That You Are Not Overwatering Your Plant

Overwatering causes damp soil, which eventually leads to decaying roots. If you are overwatering your plant, then your plant will appear to be yellowish.

When Plant Is Severely Underwatered

Check the topsoil in the pot if you want to detect whether the plant is underwater. If there are cracks in the topsoil, keep watering until the drainage holes are fully cleared.

Right Amount of Sunlight

Place your plant where it can receive proper sunlight.
