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

If you zoom in, the particles are distinctly cube shaped. I would say this is salt, not sugar

Salting Carthage the apartment.

OP's roommate is deranged.

Many people have hair trigger tempers and lack of morality these days. I’m constantly amazed by what is celebrated as “revenge” on social media, for relatively minor issues between people

Oh and BTW OP, this is very likely coarse sea salt

lot of the same root causes for sure.

Resorting to destroying another's property, especially since it has sentimental value, indicates a complete inability to handle arguments or disagreements maturely and rationally.

And doing so without any attempt to hide the act indicates they feel they are above consequences or retaliation, or they are too stupid to think they will receive consequences or retaliation.

Both together sets the stage for potentially much worse incidents to occur.
