Neighbor sprayed my plant with Roundup 3 days ago. Can I save it? – Reddit Post

My neighbor was doing yard cleanup on Sunday and I noticed this morning that a few weeds on my property and the korean feather reed grass I planted last fall are turning brown and dying after showing healthy spring growth over the last few weeks. It’s pretty obvious he nuked everything with roundup and decided to take it upon himself to spray part of my property. It’s been three days. Is there any hope for saving this? I’m going to cut it down to the ground and water the heck out of it and hope for the best.

My neighbor is a nice guy and admittedly doesn’t know anything about plants or gardening so he thought this juvenile grass was just another weed. I know this because I’m a landscape architect and am out gardening often so we talk about it. He’s a really nice guy and I know he thought he was helping, but its maddening that he would spray chemicals on my property without me knowing. I’ll do my best to save the plant, but it almost certainly a goner. I’ll have a chat and ask him not to do it again. In the meantime, I’m wondering if anyone has revived a plant days after it was sprayed with roundup and could lend me some advice.
