First of all, don’t worry! Plants are remarkably resilient.

Plant food might be a bit much if the plant is stressed – increase light, humidity and warmth for fast growth. My begonia loves my grow light, so if you have one, crack it out now. If not, a warm windowsill is perfect. If you think it might be hungry add worm castings to the soil – they’re gentle and won’t burn the roots.

Once the cuttings root you can put them back in with the original plant to make one big plant – it’ll be back to its former glory before you know it.

There’s always hope! Plants can grow back from surprisingly little, so it’s always worth trying to save them. A warm, humid, bright place is your best bet for revival.

That’s exactly how I felt when I started! I cringe when I think of all the rookie mistakes I made thinking I was helping my plants – pots with no holes, gravel in the bottom of the pots, watering every day (!!!!)…I’m surprised my plants lasted as long as they did! I have a Monstera that is a real trooper!
