Every day I find a few leaves on the ground. I read online that it might be root rot so I have been avoiding giving it water.

I might try to take it out of the pot and remove the bad roots. Does anyone have experience with removing bad roots?

    Even though there might be other possibilities, checking the roots is a good move. If the roots are okay, that’s great news and you’re on the safe side. If you discover rot, you can just cut off the bad parts and the repot the plant. That causes severe stress, so it might take a while to recover, but it’s the only way to help with root rot, as otherwise it will only spread, killing the plant in the long term.
