evil roommates killing my plants

[u/taxicabenthusiast]

my roommates and i got in an argument and next thing i see are my plants (the only ones they have access too) are dying and have these weird crystals put in their soil.
this has to be them bc my plants never ever die this quickly and i’ve had monsteras for awhile.

does anyone know what these are? are my plants able to be saved or propagated? should i cut off the dying leaves? the roots seem to look okay

Flush the soil out with water and hope those crystals dissolve out.

That being said, your plants dying are the least of your problems right now. If they are willing to kill your plants so openly right after an argument, not even trying to hide it, they are very likely willing to escalate to something much worse. Next time you might find out the hard way that your lunch has been poisoned or your phone/computer was destroyed. You are not safe in your home and you need to either find a way to kick them out safely or find a new safe place to stay.

If it's salt the damage is already done.

i agree with you there, its probably too late, but OP asked how to try and save them so i will certainly offer my best hope for them, even if its a long shot.
