# My baby had root rot 🥺 I managed to save a nude that wasn’t rotted…

My baby had root rot 🥺 I managed to save a nude that wasn’t rotted and cleaned it off as best as I could. Then put her in a propagation tube. I’ll change the water out and about three days. I hope she does well.

So is the only way to know is to dig it up and sniff the roots? Some consolation is I just heard that root rot is easier to get rid of than stem rot.

I figured this would be the best way because the entire root was rotten and mushy. So I was just playing it safe
