I have a hanging plant whose leaves are brown and dry. Do I prune?? If yest how much?? Is it too late to save?

Question

the ends of the leaves are brown and wilted but the stems are green. I'm watering, fertilizing but not too much I think. Should I not worry about it or do I need to cut the leaves off. It will be all stems if I do that.

Answer 1

If the leaves are brown the leaf itself will not come back. You should only fertilize your plant every 3 months during it's active growing period. You shouldn't let your plant sit in water. When watering it let the top 1/2 inch of soil dry out. You can prune your plant back, depending on the type of plant it should grow back. Good Luck

Answer 2

prune yes but only dead leaves and anything else dead or dying on plant with scissors and don't water to much when you do water use also feed sticks in the pott right between the root and wall of pot, water at least twice a wk. and on very hot days spray water every morning to help osmosis the plant will love you !!

Answer 3

The leaves are dead and do no good to the plant. Sounds like you need to cut it back pretty hard. I don't know what kind of plant it is, but it should come back healthier.

Check to see what kind of fertilizer it should have, and what its watering schedule should be. Some need to be uniformly damp, some need to dry out between waterings.

Answer 4

if the stems are green, try pruning back severely. move so it's not getting too much sun exposure, keep soil moist. nothing to lose!

Answer 5

BROWN DRY LEAVES WILL NOT "RECOVER"

CONSULT A GOOD GARDNER\

I KNOW THAT
RE POTTING INTO A LARGER CONTAINER, WITH FRESH POTTING SOIL, FILLED WITH NUTRIENTS, ALWAYS STIMULATING. GROWTH HEALTH OF LANTS

IF PRUNING RESULTS IN ALL STEMS.
THEN, DAH, DON'T.
THE DEAD LEAVES SHOULD BRUSH OFF
