Acquired three old Rotty jades. Cut off some rot and pulled out dead trunks, but not sure if the brown in the trunk is more rot or normal. Should I abandon the roots and behead them all?

    99% sure the brown is rot but id like someone else to confirm as well.

    I’d let those dry out hard.

    If it’s rot it’ll get soft and nasty. You’ll know.
