HELP! frost bitten house plant #12486 February 9th, 2003 at 07:26 PM

The bottom leaves are wilted and dead. The top leaves are still alive. Is there any way I can save this plant? It has been with me a long time and I don't want to lose it. Can't believe I let this happen to it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Fertilizing with a high phosporous fertilizer will help strengthen stems and roots. I'd do this twice, at two weeks apart, and then begin a regular routine of fertilizing with a regular fertilizer, higher in nitrogen to help produce more leaves.
