Before you give up and throw away your dead-looking potted plant, check for these signs of life and revive it

potted plants with dead leaves and dead stems .

With high temperatures and lots of repotting being done, this time of year can sometimes lead to some rather sad-looking plants. Luckily, just because your potted plant might look dead, it doesn't mean it actually is.

It can be heartbreaking, seeing your favourite patio container plants seemingly perish the second you repot them. And whilst you can do everything possible to keep your potted plants happy in the heat, sometimes they just don't take to their new pot kindly. Which often means you're left with a plant that looks destined for the garden waste bin.
