    Hello,

    I have a 3 year old miracle fruit plant that I received approximately 2 months ago. It was shipped bare root, and I immediately soaked it in water for about 3 hours and planted it in a 50/50 sphagnum peat moss/perlite mixture. After about a month, all the leaves that were attached when it shipped had fallen off, and I have yet to see any new growth since receiving the plant. The soil pH is around 7, and I give it about 6-8 hours of indirect sunlight per day. When I scratch the bark of the main stalk and stems, it is green underneath, so I am sure that it is not completely dead.

    Here are some images of the plant's current condition. I would really like to revive it and be able to harvest some berries, but I'm afraid that it will not survive :(
