:( please help!  
My pathos has been droopy for a while now and I thought it has to do with the soil so I was hoping to change the soil today and I saw this today - that the root is quite bad (weak?)  
What should I do?

the root just looks a little dirty, but otherwise fine! plop it in water for a few weeks to allow new roots/root hairs to develop 😊

Thanks May! I just thought they’re too small for a plant this big (or a plant with these many leaves!
