My plant that I just ordered is not doing too well. Actually a couple of them aren't. But this one in particular at the dirt, the stalk is very brown n dying. What is wrong?

Hi Amanda, I think your soil is too wet and the pot might be too big. Does your pot have drainage? You might have some root rot, to know for sure you’ll need to unpot it and rinse the roots. If the roots are mushy or smell really bad, you’ll need to cut them off with clean scissors (clean with alcohol first).

I think it’s too wet and if there isn’t any drainage, there could be some root damage going on. I would definitely take it out and examine the roots. Cut off any dead roots and put it in fresh soil in a pot with drainage.
