    That’s likely the cause of your root rot 😭 I call them death plugs. They’re stupid and I hate them. They’re plastic mesh that some growers use when the plant is propagating. But if they never take them off, they’ll eventually strangle plants with smaller root systems or cause root rot for plants with robust roots. Try to remove as much as you can while you’ve got it unpotted. It can recover

    I think it’s the netting plug they use to start the plant in. I remove it because in my experience sometimes it limits growth and encourages root rot.
