I'm looking for some advice on taking care of suspected root rot on my bird of paradise plant from some much wiser plant caretakers than myself.
I've had this plant for a year without issue, it gets about half a day of east facing sun through a window. I removed one of the four main stalks of the plant 4 days ago after noticing the stem was brown and soft and leaves from that stalk had been yellowing and curling. I had to extract and untangle the roots of that stalk from the others (I'm hoping this didn't cause too much damage) and I repotted the plant with some new soil in the same pot (cleaned the pot before replanting).
There are spots on the stems of the remaining three stalks of the plant and am wondering if this is root rot continuing to develop? I didn't want to disturb the rootball when repotting, thus a fair amount of the original (possibly infected soil) is still in the mix. Should I repot? Or give it more time to see if it pulls through before causing more stress?
Sharing photos of 1) the stalk I removed with root rot 2) the spots as they are today and 3) the whole plant as it looks today.
Appreciate the advice in advance!
