Rescued this fella from a local warehouse retailer and saw what I fear are rotting roots. If I’m correct, please tell me precisely what to do to keep it alive and healthy.
To clarify, I’d already torn some shriveled black roots out from the drainage holes after I’d gotten it home and watered.
I’m a newbie but I think you need to take it out and clean it so you can inspect the root system better. Then depending on the damage you should be able to chop off any rotten roots and the plant should be fine. If it’s all rotten then your best chance at saving it is propagating nodes/vines (I think propagating vines is harder because it needs a lot of energy to keep the entire vine alive while also trying to root).
