Mine was in a pot was almost dead. I had not watered it. So I cut it way back and watered it well for a week or so then gave up hope. I had actually had my husband take it out of its pot and leave it by my car. I was going to bag it and toss. When I went to look again, it had lots of tiny buds so I cut off half its roots and repotted it. It is doing great. This is one plant that loves to be cut way back.

The sun is strong, but I think you can see all the budding.
