This stem is growing out quite a bit! But the leaves are droopy and it seems like the roots aren’t as secure as they need to be. Any advice?

    Check your roots to see if it has rot and if you have bugs

      I tugged a lil and it popped right off. Cleaned off and definitely seems like rot. Any way to salvage?

      Cut off the rotting root and propagate in sphagnum moss or in water with some nutrients. She’ll bounce back in no time.

    Check all the roots since you found rot in the stem. Clean/cut of all rotted roots in the pot. Rinse the roots with peroxide to kill bacteria. Determine the root cause of rot: overwatering, roots sitting in water due to poor drainage? Water only when top inch of soil’s is dry.
