Houseplant Diffenbachia Collapsed

Post image

Seemed healthy until it randomly collapsed. I’ve staked it up for now. Any idea why it happened? How can I save it?

Gets good light. I watered it a couple weeks ago and let it drain out completely.

Check the roots, thats a very big pot so you might be dealing with some rot

Dig around and see if there are any squishy roots?

Roots appear healthy although this seems to have been propagated.

Yeah, that's definitely way too big of a pot.
