Back from the dead

In April I bought 10 plants while on vacation. When I got home, my girlfriend took 3 she liked home with her. Within a week she called and said that P. star of Clevedon did not look good. I went over and she was right. All the leaves were curled up and falling off. She had let it completly dry out. After watering it and putting it in the shade, no luck. I took all 3 home. The other 2 were allright, but I pulled star out of it's pot to reuse the pot. I noticed that some of the roots still looked alive so I just tossed it into a bucket of dirt and left it there occasionaly spraying water on it. The top broke off of it just leaving some exposed roots. Today July 4, 2 months after being pronounced dead, it's sending out new growth from those exposed roots. wow!!!!!
