i would cut away any dark, squishy roots and spray the roots with undiluted hydrogen peroxide. then repot in the smallest nursery pot you have, ideally around 3” for this plant i think. make sure to use a chunky mix in the future to prevent rot from recurring, and water thoroughly with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the water to sterilize the soil.
