What is this and is it possible to save ? Or should it go in the compost ?

I think it’s dead

#### Mr C svarade den 2025-03-22

Any ideas on how to give it a chance ?

### Trespence kommenterade den 2025-03-22

Well — get it out of that soul and wash the roots to confirm they are alive. Pop it into some distilled water and see if new roots grow

How will I tell if the roots are alive

#### Mr C svarade den 2025-03-22

Sorry for so many question

Look for firm roots. Anything brown goopy, mushy are rotten. Give a wash with some peroxide water and instead of placing in water, try some spaghum moss. I’ve done this with some of my plants and they are growing!
