PSA: The plant swap at the community center turned into a full rescue mission

Last month, I went to our local swap and saw a guy trying to toss a huge, sad fiddle leaf fig into the dumpster. He said it had lost over 30 leaves and was a goner. I took it home, checked for root rot, and moved it to a brighter spot. It's pushing out three new leaves now. Has anyone else brought a plant back from the brink like that?

Totally saved a crispy peace lily once.

Remember peace lilies actually like to dry out a bit between waterings. Most people kill them with too much love and overwatering. Letting the soil get dry to the touch is the real trick.
