Why is my callisia repens really dry and browning in the middle?
It’s been like this since I got it a bit. Is it overwatering, underwatering, or root rot? I would love to be able to save it and help it grow. It’s one of my favorite plants

It seems like root rot. I'd take it out from the pot and check the roots, but I'm not sure if it's reversible at this point

@Orked check the pot for what? I’ve never had to deal with root rot before so I’m unsure.

@geemcolo i meant to say "check the roots", sorry 😅. If the roots are soggy and mushy, they're definitely rotting

This underwatering sign sort of matches your photo. But you last watered it 8 days ago, so it's less likely underwatering unless the amount of water was too little. So i guess it's better to check the soil and roots.

@Orked checked the soil and the roots! There wasn’t too many issues but I took off a few of the roots and I repotted it! Hopefully it will start getting better and grow as it enters growing season
