    I transplanted some of the old fire damaged Snake plant to a new pot.
    My question to you friends is was it a waste of time.
    I still can't back into the fire damaged apartment.
    Well I'll let you see the repot job and you can tell me if I wasted $$.
    sleep warm

    I don't think it was a waste of time! I'd have done the exact same thing!!

    So sorry about your losses! I don't have a prediction, but hope you'll let us know what happens. Did you lose other plants?

    It's never a waste to try and save your plants. If the roots were still alive then the plant should hopefully bounce back.

    Does the same rule apply to geraniums too? Among all the geraniums I winterized after last season, one of them looks all dead and its stems seemed (soggy and black). I was about to throw it out when I saw that the stem just about the roots are green and hard. I cut off the stems and threw out all the dead part. There is about a cm remaining now. I stuck them to the ground in the garden yesterday just to see what happens. Who thinks this one will come back?

    Ed, always worth it to try to save a plant. What do you think of Tina's question about her geranium? Do you think she should try to save it?
