Root rot or stress?

I had to repot both of my foxtail ferns recently as the terrible nursery pots I got them in were infested with ants (AND the plants were so root bound there was hardly any soil left.. what was left was holding onto water way too long) and this one has been yellowing quicker since. I already had concerns about root rot since the nursery pots held onto water for so long, but there was so smell or obvious rotting while I was repotting (The bulbs were soft, but a lot of them actually seemed dry.. all the worst ones fell off too) so I’m wondering if this is actually root rot or if it’s just stress from the move? Maybe both? Help! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom floweringPlants">#floweringPlants #FernFriends #FoxtailFern #PlumeAsparagus #RootRot #NewPotWhosThis #help #helpneeded
0ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 month ago
The plant was repotted about a week ago and has been watered once since. The soil is a mix of organic coco coir seed starter and BlackGold succulent & cacti mix as that was what I had at the time, so good drainage. The pot has drainage as well and the plant is about 1ft away from a west window behind a sheer curtain. The other foxtail fern seems okay aside from one yellow frond.
It's stress cuz u just repotted and it not used to the new environment
