1week? Who did you leave it with, the grim reaper?
Take the fan off it, lower the light intensity alot, up the humidity to 60-65% and give her a few days. Do not over water. It looks like they didn't water it at all.
Yes I had to learn the hard way....even my dog looks under fedI would never trust this caretaker to watch a plant again. Or perhaps in any context, lol. Sorry for your troubles. That girl needs to drink but not drown.
Yo if this person neglected your dog then....Yes I had to learn the hard way....even my dog looks under fed
No guarantee but it's really the only hope.
Not sure if I would spray anything right now. Invitation for mold and fungal infections and those leaves are not going to be transpiring anytime soon so no benefit. Need to slow down the transpiration demand and photosynthesis until it recovers... If it recovers.Looks like mine after leaving them with the ol lady for a weekend. It really boils down to how long it's been deflated like that.
I would mist her also with an atomizer actually, and keep the fan off for at least half day or better. She's going to lose some leaves, but she should pop back. Try to get some spray under the foliage as well, I think leafs probably absorb water better on their undersides, just don't over spray because of the weight of the water on the plant. I would do it several times over several hours. It's certainly worth a try, I've seen them that bad and make a comeback before, and that plant has a lot of foliage, so it should spring back.

temp is 22c and 58% getting the humidity upSo the idea here is to try and jump-start transpiration again. Humidity as you stated before seems the only good mechanism for that, (unless you can regulate temperature also) you need to be within the range. What's your room temps? And can your regulate the humidity? You look to be in the blue here. I would think you'll want to be on the "humid" side of these charts. (I love my nifty leaf pressure chart)

No the idea is to reduce transpiration demands. With damaged leaves the plant can't transpire well. Low humidity and increasing photosynthesis increase the demand for transpiration which because of the damaged leaves the plant cannot do and essentially would stress the plant to death. Raising humidity means the plants will transpire less. Lowering light intensity will reduce photosynthesis in turn reducing transpiration needs. Taking that fan off the plant will also reduce forced transpiration. Temps should be low 70's also to keep the plants for needing transpiration to cool itselfSo the idea here is to try and jump-start transpiration again.

That chart is not accurate to his grow and not really relevant for ideal conditions in this case. If the plant was happy the ideal KPA here would be about 0.9-1.2 imo. The chart doesn't take his leaf temps into account but the leaves are in bad shape so it doesn't matter. But yes ideally in this situation about 0.4-0.5 KPA will lower the transipirational stress on the plant and any stress we can reduce will be of benefit to the plant until it recovers.So based upon what aquaman stated, he said 60-65% which 65% is dead center in the chart. @0.58 kPa
Edit: actually I'm reading the chart wrong. your in late veg. so 0.98 kPa @50% humidity. Although, I would take his advice and bring it up to around 60-65% for at least some time, then back down once it recovers.
