I bought a peperomia columnella not long ago and it just self destructed?? Anyone know how I can help it?

I’m moving it into a smaller pot with new soil but it’s already so dead and the roots are gone….

You could try putting it in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel or Moss and forget about it for a little bit and it’s likely to grow new roots!
