So I've been neglecting this thing for awhile… I knew it needed to be repotted because shes constantly thirsty and her larger leaves have been turning yellow then brown. I just had no idea how bad it was. I also didn't realize she'd had a bunch of babies. And many of those babies are now flowering. I count 4 flowers and I don't know how many plants. Maybe 5-7.
Anyhoo, finally went to repot it and… was not at all prepared. I spent well over an hour trying to gently untangle the root ball and made some progress but its going to take….awhile. I was spritzing it with distilled water to keep the roots moist because I could feel they were starting to dry out and become brittle. Eventually I needed to call it quits for today and wasn't really sure what to do, so I put the root ball in a self watering pot with a shitload of perlite and then drenched it in distilled water.
Worried about it drying out… or getting too much water. Do I lay it on its side or hold it upright while I untangle? I assume I should at least cut off the yellowing leaves so it conserves energy.
I have a feeling that im going to put a ton of time and energy into trying to save this bitch and she's just going to die on me.
Someone please tell me what the fuck to do now. Thanks.
