please help ! my calathea white fusion has been drooping and looking pitiful for months and i have finally had the time to dump its soil and get to the roots. idk if the roots or rotting and if i should try to grow it in water or if i should repot it in soil. i want to save her :((

Looks like rot to me. What I would do is pull off all the rotted bits (anything dark/mushy), then spray the roots with diluted hydrogen peroxide (2-3 parts water to 1 part peroxide). I don’t know much about soil vs water growing, so I can’t give any advice on that. Good luck :)
