    You could trim the rootball and replant it, new leaf shoots will likely come out of the stumps. I did it once and it put out mature, holed and fenestrated leaves straight away.
    Good luck in your new home, I'd bet that you purposely bought a place with good natural light in mind.

    We would greatly appreciate an in-depth video describing plants that are excellent in moderate to very poor lighting (North/Northwest facing windows only & Nova Scotia climate) conditions that are safe for cats and dogs.

The last leaf, and biggest (12 fenestrations and 12 perforations) is so insect damaged! I think I have to let it go forever. I don’t think I can even root any of it. I keep putting it off. But seeing you do it, I’m ready. I’m just so sad that none of it can be saved😢

    Thanks for all the videos! They're really helpful. Question about the moisture metre - when I put mine in a pot to take a reading, the needle always jumps straight up to the moist/wet end of the scale, before slowing dropping back down and settling somewhere nearer the dry end. I'm just wondering if yours does the same, and if so, at what point consider it to be truly indicative of what's going on in the soil? I'm guessing I should be looking at it once it's had a moment to settle, rather than paying attention to that first instant reading?
