I’m not sure what’s going on with this plant. Should I be pruning the roots? Is the soil at the top something I even need to attend to? I just changed the water about a week ago. It smelled horrible, like it had soured. Maybe I should add some fertilizer? Or just keep refreshing the water? Any advice helps!
