I finally found the reason for my plant dying and yellowing all over. Root rot 😵‍💫  
I’ve never had root rot before. I cut all of the stringy, mushy stuff off but wondering if I got it all?  
Some of the tips of the nodes were brown/black but idk if that’s soil or rot.  
Are the leaves that have already started yellowing, done for? Or do they have a chance?  
If you notice any rot In the pictures that I need to remove please let me know! I don’t really know what to look for other than the mush

you’ve got a ton of viable nodes here — there is plenty of hope!

I’m just scared to miss any root rot and kill it completely 😭  
I’ve already lost quite a bit of it because the leaves started rapidly dying and yellowing.  
It was in a hanging basket and was growing out so long, ughh I’m sad about it haha

If you want to help ease your mind, you can soak the cuttings in a hydrogen peroxide and water mix to kill any of the root rot bacteria before you start propagating these cuttings

Equal parts? I’m going to try that!

Yep! Just do it for about 10-20 minutes or so, that worked for my pearls and jade pothos that had root rot and I had to do some props
