Was grocery shopping and saw this poor thing (I think a creeping fig?) being advertised as $13 so asked if I could get it for a dollar. They basically said “yeah, good luck.” Best chances to rub in their faces? My initial thought was prune all of the dead off and replant but I guess I’m not super well-versed on this type of plant. It’s okay if I wasted a dollar, I understand this is a ‘plant clinic’ and not a ‘plant ambulance.’ Soil was very wet, haven’t WATERED, obviously. If this is a creeping fig I understand that they probably need to stay pretty shaded, less LIGHT?

There can still be green foliage even though the roots are dead. In order to determine if the plant is viable you’re going to have to take it out and check the roots.
I wouldn’t suggest putting it in a dark corner so that it gets indirect light. We so often underestimate light exposure in our homes, I would put it in a bright windowsill. That is if there is anything left to try and encourage to grow.
Even if she’s Dead, The hanging planter is worth more than one dollar💲! It’s a WIN no matter what happens 😁
