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?

Do you have one of those moisture meters? They're on amazon for $20 or a local garden store will typically have them. They're great for checking the moisture of the soil deeper down.

Just don't leave them in the pot or it'll ruin it. Stick it it, check it, pull it out.
