It might have been dry when she first received it, but it was soggy when I got it. I haven't watered it, except the water from my fountain that over sprayed it and kept the soil damp and the remaining leaves spritzed. It was in a plastic/styrofoam pot. I moved it to a clay pot. That's when I saw the root ball was reddish, matted and dead looking. The potting soil at the bottom and around the sides was not attached and fell away. There are fine little roots, maybe an inch or so, just starting to come out. These are near the top sides of the plant. No mealies, no fungus. The mix it was in looks like Miracle-Gro moisture mix. The white things are perlite pcs. I hope this makes sense. There are four branches. I think possibly those are four cuttings in the one pot. Is it possible to trim the bottom of the root mass and try to separate it? I'm tempted to cut the whole thing in half vertically too. The roots are hard and like matted, varnished pine needles. It doesn't look good except at the very top where those few white roots are coming out.
