Re-pot with rotten leaf soil (steamed in a pot for an hour before use).

Put bright scattered light on the basin, control watering, and sprinkle water on the abnormal stem and its surrounding ground several times a day to improve the air humidity of the surrounding environment. Normal management will be carried out after the new leaves germinate. If the root system has all rotted or only a few roots are left, the plant should be trimmed and disinfected according to the above method, use steamed clean river sand to promote the root, and then cover it with transparent plastic film.

If the growth point at the top of the plant shows that it has taken root, 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be applied once a week and put on the pot with rotten leaf soil after the new leaves are unfolded.
