I'm in the process of repotting some plants I got from Lowe's and was wondering if what I'm seeing is normal. They're horrible at watering their plants so it wouldn't surprise me if this was rot.
It was planted very deep with no drainage/aeration and its pot prevented it from getting much sunlight. I'm concerned that this shriveled/dusty looking chunk is going to be a problem for the new growth attached to it. The plant hasn't seemed unwell otherwise; it grows like a weed. The other one of these that I got was much worse off looking and managed to survive and grow after I removed that questionable looking part. So my question is, am I overreacting and removing a normal part of the plant? Or is this rot?
I'm also having a hard time IDing these.
