# Can anyone help🙏Can anyone tell me if this is a sign of root…

_Posted by Leslie on 2025-03-18_

Can anyone help🙏Can anyone tell me if this is a sign of root rotting? I looked at the base of my money tree and this is the condition it is in, I can’t tell if it’s good or not. No electric tape or rubber band found. A couple leaves are yellowing. Not sure what that means also. Any tips help

Yikes thats some pretty wet soil. The rest of your plant is doing well? You might remove that really dark soil and put those roots in 4:1 water to peroxide for a bit. Then replant in less wet soil. The experts might have better advice, but thats what Id try. I have hope for her yet.

I tried my best to salvage it but ended up trimming the darkest one pictured here. It was so mushy and hopefully I cut off the worst of it. So far it’s lost some leaves that dried
