trim and replant, or chop and prop? i’m trying to decide what to do with this fishbone cactus (disocactus anguliger). it hasn’t been looking good (wilty and dehydrated despite watering when the soil is dry) since i retrieved it from a friend’s house, i’ve suspected root rot but just recently got around to unpotting it. at least half the root system fell off when i rinsed the soil from roots. the remaining roots don’t feel healthy. i’ve attached pictures of it laying down on the front landing, one on each side. i’m curious, if this were your plant, what would you do? i don’t want to have to discard the root system but i may have to. i’m almost certain there aren’t enough healthy roots left to support the foliage as is. pretty sure the safe choice is to chop and prop, but i thought i’d reach out for others opinions first. thanks in advance for your thoughts.
