Euphorbia obesa

This is my beautiful euphorbia obsesa, I believe this is root rot. Is there anything I can do at this point? It is still firm.
Oh my! Yes. You don’t wanna trim off the whole root, but I see that at the bottom 2/3 is a little browner than the top, so cut off the bottom 2/3 of the roots. You’re not gonna want to water it for about a month, sadly. Because these plants are actually succulents, this won’t be as bad as it was for my flower. Still, it needs hydration somehow to stay alive. Also, repot it into a fresh pot with fresh soil. For hydration, put it inside of a large plastic bag so that none of the sides of the plants are touching the bag. Overtime, the plant will learn to recycle it humidity so that it stays watered during this month. Because this plant is very far into its root rot, it may be unsaveable but always try and do your best! Best of luck, Tina! πŸŒ±πŸŒ…πŸͺ΄πŸ’§πŸŒ΅
