Can someone tell me what might be going on with my Chinese evergreen? The roots are fine and it hasnā€™t been repotted. Whenever I water it doesnā€™t perk back upā€¦.

    The soil looks a bit too dense and damp, Iā€™d lean towards something fungal

      Yeah from what you have said about the soil composition and also seeing a picture of the roots. Itā€™s definitely fungal, leaning towards root rot. Possibly from the substrate it was in before you repotted with the good stuff. Iā€™d try to chop off the rot, soak it in 50/50 hydrogen peroxide and water and then prop it to grow new roots šŸ˜¬

    Does the water quickly drain from the soil or just sit there and seem unaffected? It could be the soil is the problem šŸ¤” would you happen to know when it was last repotted, and what type or brand of soil it was potted in?

      It quickly drains, I repotted a few months ago! In the fox farm soil, mises with perlite and coco coir

      Thatā€™s really strange, then. And the roots are light in color and firm? Not dark or mushy? Hmm. If itā€™s getting enough light and humidity, then itā€™s possible itā€™s something fungal.

      Yes they are light and firm. Even pushing out a new leaf

      I would try to check for fungal, then. Thereā€™s quite a few different ones, so perhaps try narrowing it down by researching ā€œcommon fungal infections for aglaonemaā€. In the meantime, isolate it from your other plants and donā€™t use the same tools for other plants that you use with this plant until you can rule out that it isnā€™t something fungal that can spread

    Can you send a picture with the plant pulled out? Would like to see the roots

      You got healthy roots and some that are waterlogged. From inconsistent watering, it happens and I would probably do a hydrogen peroxide treatment to the roots.

    If you feel the soil and itā€™s abit slimey, could be root rot, Iā€™d say re pot but clean well.
