Waaa, Emergency Emergency ,.... I will help, cut 1/2 of the leaf, putting it in the pot quickly then bag it, give it low light. Hope the victim recover.

WOW...another case for this CSI agent.The plant looks like it has been badly damaged.Who is the suspect?

OK..OK.Now if the pot is not heavy,why did you put it there?You know it can fall easily.

Nevermind,you can follow what Minh said.Hope it recovers soon though.

if u see the number plate, buy toto, magnum or 1+3d, then perhaps can win more to buy more plants... joking...

btw, your truncata trunk looks thick and strong, it should recover easily, provided very minimum root damage

OMG!!! If you catch the suspect, sue him. Looks terrible. Hope your plant survives. Next time, I suggest tying the plant with something to keep it more stabil(I tie my plants with some green hard thingy which is made of metal and can bend easily. Not sure whats the name but in Malay I think is dawai)

OMG... This is the first case I've heard of a hit and run accident involving a plant.. :p your trunc doesn't look too bad though.. but I'm quite suspicious of the lack of roots.. Were the roots damaged..? Did you cut them off..? I think you should plant in a pot of sphag instead of florist's foam and let it recover..

I had no idea there was such strong wind/heavy rain probably wind then it crashed then around midnight a car squashed me plant....80% is like that...

Yeah but fauzi uses these for draining and it has so little root...

Re: CAR ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!!!
 
Didn't you have a similar accident some time ago? (or maybe someone else) I think the best way is to prevent the same thing from happening again, if you put your plants on the ledge, then find a way to prevent them from falling. Some kind of rail?

Please be careful because the other way might also happen, if your plant falls and hits a vehicle then that vehicle gets damaged or gets in more accident, you might get in trouble too. So it goes both ways.

For your Truncata, yeah unfortunately the best way is to just put in Intensive Care, buy repotting, then bagging. hopefully it will survive. If it does, call it Super T! :)
