Not sure what’s going on with your plant, but I would trash it. It just looks too bad to deal with.

Sorry to hijack this conversation but I love your yellow cover plant can you tell me what it is I would love one. Thanks

It’s a beautiful plant but unfortunately it’s AI. I have seen some scammers trying to sell such plants though on Etsy.

I think you are definitely able to hand it. Do you have a plant ID?

### Z.Mo reageerde op 2025-02-10

I think it’s worth taking cuttings from the healthier parts of the plant!

It’s root rot based on the decay being worse closer to the stem. It’s feeding the fungus and the gnats. Overwatering, poor or no drainage and slow drying potting mix are some cause of it.
