How to revive my poor plant?

Take a picture on your cell phone and ask at your local nursery.

Right now it looks like a small plant, I would take it to a local nursery and ask what it is and how to care for it.

Here's a link for an app that can identify the plant for you:

There are sedums that are succulents that you can have indoors. You might take the plant to a nursery or garden center, have them ID it and give you some tips.

It is possible to plant grass seed in hard dirt quite quickly, but it requires patience and dedication. To ensure the soil will support grass, you must prepare it before seeding.

could you ask the person who gave it to you what kind of plant it is? otherwise any of the plant id apps will help you or your local nursery

I would either use the free version of plant id or take it to a nursery to identify. Then research care guidelines. I would have thought the same as you. On the bright side, I think it is something you can save.

The plant looks to be some kind of herbs, such as parsley it should be kept inside on a window sill so it gets filtered light. Water when dirt dry to touch.

The sun can be pretty harsh if the plant hasn't been outside at all. Better to give it indirect light for a bit first little by little. I would put it by a nice sunny window and lightly water it every few days.

I suggest to either make use of plant id for it to be identified or taking it to a nursery. Just place this plant on an indirect sun as it looks some kind of herb that requires to be kept indirectly from sunlight.

Hello, I think it may be sphagnum moss which would explain it not liking the direct sun, hope this helps you out. The best-case watering scenario would be to mist once a day or keep shallow water high enough to reach the bottom of the moss. A mister or fogger would work well with this type of moss. Keep sphagnum moist in a bogged environment for the best results!

I use seltzer water once a week in all my house plants . Works great

My neighbor gave me the same plant. Neither of us know the name. If you break a piece off and throw it in the yard it will grow, has little flowers in the summer and does not take a lot of care. Mine survived being outside in a

snowstorm, weeks without watering and periods of over watering. It likes being outside, but I do cover it when the weather turns really cold.

Hi Leiliana :)

It is a sedum. Possibly a “stonecrop” sedum. If it has yellow flowers in the summer then that’s what it is.

They like nutrient rich soil but WELL-DRAINED. If the soil isn’t well drained, the roots will rot. The roots are shallow so it dries quickly, but you just don’t want it to sit in water.

Anytime you receive a new plant, particularly a small one, always start it in the shade. It needs to be acclimated to your environment.

-This plant likes the sun but I recommend placing it in a bright (not direct sun) location indoors by a window. Water it once a week, twice if it’s drying out too quickly.

In the springtime, remove the plant from the pot and break off some outer clumps so you have roots and foliage both. Plant the clumps in a morning sun location for it to become a small ground cover plant. Then place the original plant back into the pot with some fresh potting soil around it for the plant to have room to grow.

Cheers! :)

Hello. Give it some time to reacclimate to the indoors.

Do not over water

I think it will bounce back.
