Looks like it just needs some water and a little time to recover.

Not a bad catch from a trash pile, though. Looks like it was probably taken care of pretty well until it was discarded.

You ever think that it was in the trash for a reason?
Or was this growing in a landfill and you plucked it?

Give it some superthrive (homedepot or plant nursery), or some liquid plant b-12 vitamin. Try giving her a half strength dose of nutrients too. All in r/o water of course.
Tap water if you don't cal/mag I guess.

You stole and killed someones plant? Shame on you.

Give it some time to latch itself up. Might appreciate a bit of shade as well while it recovers.

no didn't steal it, in fact i dont even have they still have it, they just asked me for help.... it wasn't suposed to be there, a freind just throws his seeds in the trash, then he burns the trash in back yard or something, they just didn't want it growing in the trash pile, thought it was to pretty to just kill. looks good for growing in trash pile though, cept for the dying

I would mist it in the mornings and evenings.

Fill your pot to the maximum level of soil to encourage your roots. THats a large plant and SHOULD have a bigger root zone. My guess is you tore the roots when you transplanted fromt the garbage. So give it more soil and your stem wher you cover the soil soil with will root out and give you a second chance on your roots. Then transplant it in a week.

an ocasional misting to help hydration through the leaves until the roots sort themselves out, may be in order.
