Trying to revive my friend’s lavender plant! Give me your tips!
Just picked this up and have it on my bedroom patio, facing NE (gets direct morning sun and indirect light the rest of the day). She watered it recently so I’m trying to let the soil dry first.
It doesn’t look like it’s going to come back, if you want to, you can try chopping off everything until about two inch above the root ball. All the dead stuff needs to go. If there’s a chance for it to grow back, maybe take it out of the direct light during the hot months, just so it can get bright light but not burn it. But I haven’t had an easy time with lavender. If you see new growth after the chop, then repot into something a little bigger, those nursery pots are usually full of roots by the time we get them home. Good luck!

It’s dead. There comes a point when a plant can’t be brought back and it’s FAR beyond that point already.

Have you considered contacting a local priest for exorcism services?

Plant it in the big garden in the sky.
I’m sorry friend.

Wait for 3 days, it might come back, with a couple of extra holes though.

I see the green. If you’re going to try, you need to cut it all back. Get rid of the dead so it can try to grow new.

I mean… It’s pretty much dead… But if you still have hope, cut off all the dead/dry bits so any living pieces underneath can have sun, and look up proper light and water requirements.
