Können Sie sagen, ob das überleben wird oder nicht 😃

Well im gonna say no based on the fact its potted in cement.. 😅

Only way to tell is by knowing which plant is it.

I jist did this to begonia. Im hoping for the best for both of us. Lol

Sounds like the plant was severely dehydrated in which case cutting back the roots probably isn’t the best idea.

The already dead leaves wouldn’t have recovered but they’ve evolved to be easily replaceable and in time with good care (and an intact root system) the plant would eventually push out new ones.

The cutting is less of an issue with branches but the whole process of heavy pruning and repoting when already dehydrated is pretty stressful for plants and will likely send it into shock, so it’ll likely be a while before you notice any growth if it survives.

A woody plant like this will likely be better suited for outside compared to something herbaceous (leafy). Not just because of superior light levels but also airflow, which feeds into my new point.

The soil you used looks like standard compost which is really best left for outside use since it’s pretty dense. That means it can compact when watered and make it hard for the roots to “breathe”, ventilation and light help with that by drying the soil out which is how the roots get oxygen and avoid rot. Basically allow your plants to dry between waterings but not to the point of wilting and desiccation.

Another big point is to avoid smothering/covering the base, pretty much for the same reason of avoiding rot because you want airflow around there.

Idk if smaller stems on the sides emerged from the ground or are part of the main stem but you can tell where the boundary between root and stem is by the difference in texture.

As for some other tips, you can lightly scratch a plant to see if the underside is green (alive) without having to completely cut anything. I cant tell how fresh these cuts are but im not seeing any green but i cant tell if it’s cuz the cut is now dry or cuz it’s dead.

For future reference, if i were in your position (which I’m only approximating btw) i would have left it in a shaded but still decently bright area. Watered it and let the soil drain and removed dead leaves but check for any leaf buds that could potentially still be healthy.

Then carry on watering whilst disturbing it as little as possible until i notice recovery or further decay, it’s not an easy thing to do since it can take months but we all need to start somewhere.

Well it’s got the roots and the stems don’t look all dried and brown, so that’s a good chance it could come back. Of course not knowing exactly what plant it is , that’s also hard to call, but as you said , you’re experimenting so these are good experiments.

Not everyone is going to have access to the best soil but part of learning is also making use of what you have.

There are a lot of organic materials and veggie scraps that you have access to which you can use to help make that soil better.
