If it has died off, we can cut it back and then place it in a spot with indirect light and shade to grow. If it has not died off, then we need to meet its light requirements: it cannot be exposed to strong direct sun, and it cannot be placed where there is smoke or dust. Water only when the soil is dry; if it is not dry, do not water. Do not fertilize too much; generally, dilute the fertilizer water before applying it.

1. Withered

If we accidentally kill it through poor care, that is a painful thing for us too, but at this point there is no need to rush to throw it away.

1. First, we remove all the withered branches completely, because the withered roots will grow back again, so at this time they must be cut away cleanly and not left behind.

2. After that, we place it in a shaded spot with indirect light to grow, and in less than 3 days it will grow new shoots.

3. Afterward, there is no need to rush with watering; at the start, water a little less, and once it has grown to a certain extent, it can be cared for normally.

2. Not Withered

If it has not withered and you want it to grow new shoots, you must follow these points.

1. Light

We must give it a certain amount of light every day, but this must be moderate, not too much; strong direct sun will cause its death. So placing it in a cool, shaded area with airflow is the correct way to make it grow new shoots.

2. Smoke and Dust

This plant is afraid of smoke and dust. If there is smoke and dust, it will definitely struggle to grow new shoots, so if we keep it at home, we absolutely must not smoke inside the house, and it is best to place it in a relatively well-ventilated spot.

3. Watering

We cannot water at will; we must wait until it is dry before watering, and once we water, it must be watered thoroughly. In the relatively dry spring and summer, we can just mist the leaves, which also keeps the humidity relatively high, and growing new shoots is then only natural.

4. Fertilizing

If you want it to grow new shoots, fertilizer is certainly indispensable, but do not use too much; generally, fertilizer water is enough, and it needs to be diluted. Apply a little less at a time, and the frequency of application can be higher; once it has grown larger, this is no longer necessary.
