Hi Kit, a spray paint in the green that you like might work or, perhaps, a clear sealant spray paint would bring back some of the color that was lost.
Buy two-10 packs of markers at Dollar Tree.
Buy a pack of 4 colors of food coloring at DT.
In a big mixing bowl, make a muted green with 2 cups water, 3-4 drops green, one red & 2-3 yellow. Dip a Qtip in it to see how the color looks to you. Adjust as required. The red reduces the chroma.
When happy with the overall color put the “plants” in the bowl for 3-5 mins & let them drain on rags or waxed paper, then dry.
The next day, take the markers and hand “paint” any missing details.
Use some Olive oil and it will be restore with it. I would dust it off first.
