I have that mini one and I’ve managed to give it rot. I have just cut off the bottom rotted part and need to choose the appropriate soil to re-pot and try to save it!!! Your site says apparently if it’s a tropical variety you want a bit of peat in the soil if it’s a desert variety you don’t. Thanks!!!
