advice needed after root rot

7 years ago

so my succulent (not sure what type I'm new to owning them: similar to a Sempervivum but with thicker leaves and a pale green colour) was showing signs of overwatering so I removed it from the soil and found it had root rot so I cut away the infected areas and it now has no roots and has had to have part of its stem cut away (less than a mm just to be sure). I've also have a healthy aloe with a decent sized root system , so I swapped the soils as I know the soil in the aloe is "safe". however I'm not sure if my aloe will now get root rot. I believe the rot was caused by waterlogged soil as it was a relatively large pot and a relatively small succulent, and I don't think it was caused by a fungus. I don't have any other soil and there's no garden centres near me and I'm low on cash. do you think I should sterilise the soil? any advice is appreciated greatly appreciated as I love my plants and would hate for one of them to die.
