My milk confetti syngonium wasn’t doing well. It kept having leaves turn yellow. I took it out of the pot, cleaned off the roots and then planted it in leca. The base of the plant also had a lot of black spots (see photo). Do you think it’s too far gone? It seems to have stabilized, and I haven’t had more leaves start yellowing since the repot. Is it worth trying to save? Should I try to cut off all the black? I’m not sure what would be left but some roots. ETA it has three new leaves growing in (I think since the repot) so maybe it will be OK?

    I think there's still hope. I'd suggest removing from leca. Trim away rotted roots and the black part, especially if mushy. Re-clean the root ball, there really shouldn't be any soil. Treat with diluted peroxide, do another rinse. Then place it back in leca. My 2 syngoniums that I transitioned to leca I ended up doing this several times for the first 3 weeks. The soil was so compacted at their base and it did take time to thoroughly clean out. Also try different depths they sit into the leca. Make they're not too deep or that base will get rot. Neither of mine got dramatic or lost any leaves, even with me fussing and redoing their leca set up. I think if you're careful the roots shouldn't get too stressed. Fingers crossed and good luck. .

      Thank you! I will do that today! Yes, I think he had been buried too deep and that is why there was some rot.
