# So, I just got this plant on clearance and I’m sure you can tell why.…

So, I just got this plant on clearance and I’m sure you can tell why. All of its roots were practically dead and the few that it has, had some rot on them so I had to cut them too. How high is its chances of living? Also, Do I need to cut anything else away or is this okay? What are next steps? TIA!

Or perlite propping, or really soak some soil like a swamp

Thank you both! I will do so now:)

I would spritz in a 1:3 peroxide:water dilution just to kill off rot causing microbes.

Thank you! I will do that :)
