FAQ About How to Revive a Neglected Houseplant
Should I trim the leaves of a neglected plant?
Yes, it’s often beneficial to trim dead or yellowing leaves, as they no longer serve the plant and can harbor pests or diseases. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make precise cuts at the base of the leaf or stem. Avoid removing more than a third of the plant's foliage to prevent stress.
