Very few of us are born with a green thumb—most of us have to learn the hard way that taking care of office or house plants is far more difficult than it looks. I’m a great example of a person who tends to give my indoor plants too much and too little water at the same time. And my office plant that's a low-maintenance succulent is begging me to give it to a plant shelter so it can find a proper forever home.

However, with some hard work, love, and proper care, even neglected plants can make a comeback and flourish. And you can’t deny that there’s something deeply and instinctively satisfying and inspirational about seeing these amazing plants getting back up on their… feet? Roots? Tendrils? Ent-legs? One of those, definitely.

So scroll down for some verdant motivation and upvote your fave before and after pics. We’d also like to hear your opinion about a couple of things, dear Pandas. Have you had any cool plant comebacks in your lives? And do you tend to overwater or underwater your plants? Share your thoughts on growing plants with us in the comments below. And be sure to read on for Bored Panda’s exclusive in-depth interview with Kamilė Trakytė, plant collector, genetics student, and co-owner of the 'Kambarinės gėlės' plant shop that is based in Vilnius.

The expert also said that the psychological effect plants have is bigger than the one they have on the quality of air in our homes. “Studies show that it takes around 100 plants in a 10 square meter area to significantly freshen the air there. It’s much easier to improve the air quality in your home by opening up the window.”

“A plant might not freshen your air much, but it will almost definitely bring you joy and calm. And it’ll help you become more disciplined as you take care of it and learn more about it,” Kamilė said. So if you’ve got some withering plants at home, go get them some all-purpose fertilizer and stop overwatering them!
