    Oh no! You might be able to save that stalk by propagating it in some water! They take FOREVER to root though. It is a good idea to repot it if the soil is super wet and check and trim the roots if they are starting to rot.

    Remove the pot and check the roots for rot. Then, cut off the rotten roots and stems. Disinfect the cut areas with hydrogen peroxide. Clean and disinfect the pot and cutting tools to prevent spreading bacteria. Use fresh dry soil to repot. Give it more light. Plants getting sufficient light use more water and grows faster. 🪴🍀

    I learned my mistake with those !!! They’re my favourite plants but I usually wait 30-35 days between watering. They always prefer dryness than overwatering.
