I have been trying to save this plant for forever. I repotted it to a nursery pot and now this happened. Rough. Will probably just throw it away. The top photo is today.

I understand the frustration. Could it be root rot?

I didn’t think so! I moved it to a pot specifically so it wouldn’t rot. It had been on and off rotting for 6 months and I made the permanent switch to a pot with drainage a few months ago. (Live and you learn) Oh well! It had some other shoots that are alive and flourishing though :)

I had one last year. It was growing well, but all of a sudden, it just up and died. I have not replaced it with the same plant. I have other plants, and since I am doing well with most of my other plants, I did not feel the need to buy that one again.
