They dead
These were killed by cold temps.
They look like they got too cold and died.
You can start by putting them in the bin 😂😂 they dead af
Those are dead throw them away.
You can start by digging a grave for them because they are dead as door nails.
They are trash. I’m sorry, but those plants cannot be saved. It looks like you have some new pots!
Start with a dumpster.
Lol start with a trash can 🤣
Jokes aside they seem pretty damaged by cold. You can try and see if maybe there’s something left alive in the roots and wait and see if any new growth sprouts but it’s probably a better use of your time to grow something new!
Pookie they’re a little….not living
I’m sorry for your loss.
Spider plants have rhizomes, those might sprout again when it’s warmer if not rotten. Stop watering and let them sleep until it’s warmer.
Shit try it out what can u lose if they are dead toss if not they grow
Unless you really love a challenge, I would toss those. Spider plants are pretty affordable. The other looks like it used to be a Pilea/Money plant and those should also be pretty affordable.
Lmao. Those plants are so so so very dead
Hmmm so your mom gave them to you when they were exactly like this? Didn’t she said something about trash can or something similar at the moment?!
Nearest bin lol.
You can reuse the pots lol
Crown of the plant is dead. Trash can.
WELL… I can maybe help with the spider plant but honestly you might be better off tossing em. In summer spider plants get a good watering once a week, in winter you give just enough water once every two weeks. So basically make that thing think it’s in a drought for a bit because it’s probably being over watered. Giving it a haircut might do some good to. See those steams with mini dead plants at the end? Those are the babies, chop all of them off. In times of crisis spider plants give more energy to growing any babies it has then to fixing itself. Chop the babies steam as far down as your willing to go. As for the leaves, if any leaf is fully dried out it gets chopped off. If literally any leaf has just a bit of green still on it you keep that leaf. Then you chop off the top down to where that green is. Then all you gotta do is wait until it warms up and pray to whatever god you believe in that it sprouts new leaves otherwise it really is dead.
Chuck em
Congratulations on your new pots!
Ohhhh. Those are just empty pots for alive things now.
If the roots are not rotten you can re pot them in a pot with a good drainage might grow back.
The pots are reusable, anyway.
Chop and clean off the dead parts.
Clean the roots
Put it in a glass cup with nice room temp water – non chlorinated and make sure it’s not just sitting at the bottom
Put it on a windowsill – make sure it doesn’t get too cold there. If needed, put a heat matt under.
Talk to it in a positive way
Check daily and after a week you shall see if there’s progress.
Empty out 50% of the water and put more water in it.
If possible – air bubbles in the water ( make the water active ).
This has helped me out and I’m hoping it does to you as well.
Your mom just gave you her dead plants 😅
Those are dead AF
Yup, immediately reads as cold damaged. Plants like these can not tolerate temps under 50° F (generally). Your comments tell me it got much colder than that for prolonged periods of time and those are past saving. Go to a local garden center and find nice healthy plants for the pots you now have! And keep em warm!
Step 1
Start with a plant funeral, wash the pots and buy something alive!
I really admire people who rescue and bring plants like this back because I would just chuck them myself. 😅
A funeral would be a good starting point
those… are dead
They super duper dead.
They either froze, or they’re completely rotten. I don’t think there is anything you can salvage.
