Thank you all for your advice. When I picked up the crown with the long root, the root just fell off, and when cleaning away the dirt on the larger crown the offshoot and small root detached from it. Not looking too good, but they are dry now and I will replant them into a loose soil for adequate drainage. I am also spritzing the leaves to keep some moisture in the plants without risking more root rot.
Thank you again. I love reading all of the stories and tips.
