This makes two plants I've lost this year due to rhizome rot, but I have no idea why this is happening the only thing I can think of would be me switching from watering at the bottom (I use the self-watering pots), to top-watering every 3 days. If this is the cause, that means potentially all of my plants are in danger..
First, I lost a smaller division from my s. Rubra, and now a medium-sized division from my Flava var. rugelii
I only noticed something was wrong when I realized it wasn't growing much compared to the main plant, and so today I decided to inspect it more, and this is what I found
I'm sure this is rhizome rot, because the rhizome is mushy and brown. I would normally try and save any possible divisions, no matter the size, but I don't think there is much I can do for this one.
I will post pictures for educational purposes. You can use them in a larger thread if you want, just say it was from me. Thanks, guys.

The white, healthy part of the rhizome, compared to the brownish, rotted part. :(
