Michelia figo in 5 gal pot was underwatered in mygreenhouse last winter. In the spring there were few green leaves left and I just sort of neglect it. Yesterday, I was going to throw it out, but noticed there are many green twigs and the cambium is still green on many branches.
I wonder whether this plant can be saved? And if so, what should be done? Would appreciate any advice. Thank you,

Michelia figo, need advice
If it's still got green then there's hope, so I wouldn't throw it out yet. Just make sure you're really careful on the watering--since it doesn't have any leaves it's not going to go through water very quickly which will make it really easy to overwater. Since it's already stressed, I'd also make sure it's not getting a lot of direct sun until it recovers a bit.
