I think you might be able to save it! @PlantyAnn and @JennMo seem to think so too. Good luck! 🍀

Oof. I’m getting some flytrap roots that are starting to look like that. Been avoiding repotting cuz I’m having a hard time finding nutrient free mediums in my area. Would love to see some updates on the recovery process for your plant!
