I have this lily that I brought home ages ago and then I started staying at my boyfriends place 99.99% of the time so she's been extremely neglected besides my roommate taking pity upon her and giving her the occasional watering. It's main home has been against this wall with a south facing sliding door getting lots of bright, indirect light.
The largest leaves are crunchy around the edges and the whole thing is sad and droopy. I know lilies usually perk up with a nice, long soak in some water, but I'm worried that the longest, heaviest leaves have been drooping so long that the stems won't stand back up since they seem totally bent in some places and not just curved down. Do I cut my losses with the saddest looking ones and cut it back pretty far? I don't think the leaves with the brown, crumbling edges will ever look nice again. Do I repot into something smaller if I do a big chop?

*Canna* aren’t really lilies, despite many people calling them that. They are usually outdoor plants. Either way, they need very well-draining soil, a pot with holes, and direct sun.
I would keep the damaged leaves because they are more green than brown, but you could trim off the brown parts if they really bother you. Water when the soil is pretty dry.
