Anyone else rescue half dead supermarket plants?

[ToClimb]

I've found I can't walk past a half dead plant. I take them to customer service and ask them to heavily reduce them. A few times they have just given them to me for free. I have about an 80% success rate at reviving them, although sometimes I have to wait until the following year before they rebloom.

I remember reading about a lady who always referred to the shelf as the poorly shelf and her young daughter misheard her and always referred to it as the Polish Elf. I now call it the polish elf, although I might have to reconsider with the pity aisle
She had amazing advice on how to revive the plants. I only wish I could find the post again as I’m not green fingered so I don’t have much success
