Thank you all so much! I will continue letting it air dry for at least the next week and then pot it up in a smaller pot. Since soil is usually damp to begin with I will wait a while before I water.
THere are only a few roots left since most the rooting roots fell off- I tried to cut away most the rotting rhizome base but there are still darker parts but they aren't mushy so I'm hoping it will be okay.
I just really want to help this guy thrive make sure this I give him the best chance this time since I already went through the root rot once before with this guy (and I have only owned the plant for around a month)
I will definitely check out the sanseveria forum. Any other advice/input would be appreciated. Thank you all again
