Is it worth saving at this point? 😩😔 I want to. I guess the question is can I?

Remove all the root rot and place in water! Good luck 🍀

I believe it can be saved! I would get a big glass and fill it with water and let the roots heal and grow. Once they’re long (2” is recommended but the longer the better chances of survival) you can switch it back to soil!

Spray that rootball down with 3% peroxide before putting it in water. It’ll help kill all the bacteria and stop any rot from continuing. Make sure you cut off any dead mushy roots. Also when you have it in water don’t dump the water until it’s obviously gross. Just add fresh water to top it off every now and then!

Thank you. I'm doing everything I can to save this one. I can see some new growth but the plant is struggling.

Keep us updated! I hope she starts thriving soon!
