At this time, take it out of the soil, wash the rotten parts, dry it in the sun for a day, then replace it with new soil, and replant it. Just make sure the soil in the pot is moist.

The rotten leaves should be removed in time to prevent the pathogens from affecting other healthy branches and leaves.
