    I went away for a week and my "plant waterer" didn't water. I've brought back all my other greens but this one was dry to the bone. All the tiny leaves had dried up and any touch causes them to fall of totally. I have been watering daily but new leaves have started. I've "russeled" all the rest of the leaves off now after I took this picture. Now I'm left with a twig tree. Is it a lost hope? How do I bring this girl back to life?

    looks like it will recover. I would back off daily watering though. Let it rest in between - when the leaves start to droop, water it.

    Might be Myrtus communis, Myrtle.

    Agree with reduction in water. The plant, if it's still alive, will need very little moisture until it starts to develop new leaves.

    It looks a lot like my Azalea, which is very fragile to dry heat. It does better outdoors in the summer, of course. Indoors, it needs light but not dry heat. water it regularly.
