    Put it in water. The roots don’t look terrible. These plants are highly susceptible to root rot. I always wait an extra 2-3 days to water on top of whatever Planta/my finger tells me. I have two of these currently recovering in water.

    Honestly though the roots don’t look that bad. Cut away anything that is mushy with a sterile (cleaned with alcohol) cutting tool and then you could probably get away with repotting in a fresh aroid mix. I use 3 parts coco chips, 2 parts perlite and 1 part coco coir.

    i would spray with undiluted (3%) hydrogen peroxide after you trim the rotten roots to help prevent rot from reoccurring
