I got this for free on marketplace. Do you think it’s gonna survive or is it rotten on the nodes and roots? It’s some sort of variegated monstera. Not sure what kind

Pat dry with hydrogen peroxide (NOT alcohol) and put it back in a prop vase. Keep an eye on it because that much rot is likely to come back. Just keep it clean

chop off anything mushy, cut that root all the way back. definitely has a chance
