Sick plant, need help!

I’ve been giving this Swiss cheese plant that is sick to try and rescue here but I am worried that it’s too far gone. It seems to have pretty severe fungus (or maybe root rot?). Any tips? Is she salvable? Thanks! #Monstera
That pot is way too big, which is causing overwatering and root rot. At this point your best bet is to take it out of soil, remove the dead leaves and rotten roots, rinse off ALL soil from remaining roots (if it has any) and stick it in a jar of water. Or move it to a much smaller pot and only water when the soil has completely dried out. The general rule of thumb for pot sizing is that it shouldn't be more than 2-3" bigger than the root ball.
This happened to mine!!!! Especially after propagating
