How can I bring my neighbor's plant back to life?

Question

Okay, so, I was hired by my neighbor in early July to water her plants until about mid-August. Well, my family went on a week and a half vacation to my grandparent's house, and I totally forgot about the neighbor's plants. We just got back yesterday. They're, like, half dead already. How can I make them come back to life? Thanks!

Answer 1

just water them and hope for the best. don't fertilize a stressed plant you could burn them.  

Answer 2

trim the plants and take out all the dead parts of the plant [when the dead parts of the plant are still part of the plant they suck energy]

water them and buy new plants and plant them if they die lol

good luck=]

Answer 3

you dont say what the plants are so i presume they are general cottage garden type plants. there is nothing you can do give them a good soaking as soon as you got back and then give them regular watering from then on.

it will not help to increase the amount of water you give it now just sit back and pray for divine help.

if it works then go and have a go on the lottery your luck may be in
