This was my 2nd schleffera i had bought from IKEA. Both died within 4-6 weeks, the exact same way - roots literally rotting off the stem and then the rest of the plant dropping leaves like crazy or turning brown. The soil was a bit soggy when I bought each one, but when I bought the 2nd one I made sure to repot it - I forgot to do it right when I brought it home so it repotted it after maybe a week or two. I also made sure to let it dry out between waterings. Would all this damage be from overwatering when it was still at the store? Asking because I’m really surprised at the extent and speed which it rotted. The roots didn’t seem like they were in bad shape when I repotted the 2nd one a few weeks ago.
