This Dewy Pine that I accidentally cut looks pretty dead.  If have any suggestions, please let me know.
I believe, I accidentally cut the plant down in June. I have emailed you before and asked the when it would begin coming back. Allexperts replied 2 weeks or so no one really knows.  I have a picture attached.  Please me  know if you need any more information.

Growth  Information.

Pot : 10 inch Terracotta pot
Water: Distilled water.
Light: CFl lights
Got Plant: Sarracenia Northwest
Soil : standard Soil for a Dewy Pine.

Sincerely,

Weylin

Answer
Hi Weylin,

I'm afraid after this long your plant is dead if you've seen no new growth.  I've never cut one back like this before, so I don't have much of a frame of reference if they will re-sprout from dormant nodes.  It's also possible it was just too young.  An older plant may have been able to bounce back from this.

Good Growing!
