My mother had bought a Mongolia plant last year and for a while it was beautiful, but we went on vacation and it didn't get watel upred anymore. When we returned it was all dried up and my mother was at the point of getting rid of it, but I told her to give it a second chance. I started watering it again and after a few weeks I notice a few little green buds and tiny leaves emerging. New life had sprouted... glad I gave it a second chance.
