    I can’t tell from the pictures but it looks fine to me? Maybe it’s getting too watered? 🤷🏻‍♀️

    It is over watered. I had this happen to two of mine. Best thing to do it to replace the soil for something more draining, place in a nursery pot 2in bigger than that roots and monitor it. Happens to all of us.

    If the roots are bad, I recommend taking some of the segments and propagating them, in case the main plant fails.
