I need help with this plant 😭 I repotted it but the leaves were still wilting. I think I overwatered it and I’m not sure how to recover it. The roots are so short too. Can I still save it?

Spritz with hydrogen peroxide diluted with water, dry it. Plant it back in soil with a little extra perlite, water at your own discretion. Possibly wait to water after a repot until it looks parched.
