I have one which has not been watered for sometime it is still alive but only just.  Any ideas on what to do with it ?

hi, here are a few things that you can do at this moment, re pot your plant into a slightly larger pot, tease out the outerside roots to untangle them and to allow them to grow in the new compost, add one or two fertilizer stick to the compost, depending on the size of the pot, ie:- 6" pot 2 sticks, 9" 3 sticks, (these will last a few months,  place the plant into a warm and light room (south facing window) increase the amount of water,
remove any died leaves.
question: how tall is your plant, where do you keep it 
what colour are the plant leaves, how many does the plant have, loads or not many,
how often do you water your plant, once or twice a week is enough this time of year, an inch of water in a saucer is plenty, unless kept in a very hot room,   do you wipe the leaves, keep the clean,

hope this helps
