Hopeless?

I accidentally left this plant, this very old plant, outside during our first frost, maybe even two frosts. I think it's not likely to recover but I'll leave it on this enclosed porch for the winter and maybe in the spring it will find a way to recover.

My mother gave me the mother of this plant in 1968. Sad to lose it but everything is mortal, right?

It looks pretty hopeless to me, but then I can't keep a house plant alive anyway. Some plants are more resilient than others. Wait and see, I guess.

I say cut it back.

Yes, cut it back. Then wait and see. It just might rejuvenate itself. And yes, all things are mortal. It still hurts. So sorry.

I think that it will survive and maybe it will be healthier for it.
