Well if it is one mans garbage, it will not be my treasure. So many of these plants, I think that they are hopeless causes, aren't worth the time and effort to try and revive them. If they survive, I would have a sickly, struggling plant hanging around my home looking pitiful and woeful for 6-8 months maybe more.
It could make sense to try to bring back something that you bought or something that was very expensive or rare. But for me, I try to save all of that worry and effort, and not bring it home to begin with.
There are so many places now to pick up quality, healthy plants. It is not in my nature to bring problems home.

You do know that trying to revive a plant is not necessarily a bad thing right? One size does not fit all.

It's like a child who has a problem. Let's say they have a reading problem. Would you toss that child out and get a new one? No, because that child is valuable and still has potential.

Plants are like that too. They are not permanent images. Give them a little while and they will recover. If they are dead, then sure, go get another, but why get another when you have one with a lot of potential?

You are free to do whatever you want with your plants, but please be civil here. Just sayin'.
