My avocado seems to be really struggling right now.#avoca...

It looked much healthier a month ago or two even. I'm not sure if it's just dying and there's nothing for me to do and I should try from scratch. The black roots on the bottom, are they alive or dead? Should I cut them away? The top, it seems like it's also dying away and I'm not sure what to do. It had some fungus that I tried cleaning away and scraping away and letting it soak for a tiny bit in soap water. Any advice would be appreciated ๐Ÿ™

@RightlySoybean How long have you had it in water? That could be some of the issue, but I'm not sure exactly. It could have disease, but I don't know much about that...
And are you saying you soaked the whole plant in soap water?
@luvmygreenhouse It's been in water for at least four months now. I soaked the root system and pit in soap water, everything that had some fungus.
@RightlySoybean I guess I'm not sure what to say. Maybe I'd suggest planting it? Not sure if that will help any...
I'm not exactly sure if soaking the plant in soap water was a good idea...
These seeds struggle to recover after being poked with the toothpicks. I'd start over, he looks dead. Find a bottle where the seed barley fits. Or I've seen a bowl with rocks to keep him in the water but the top out of the water.
