My scindapsis has black roots with white tips. Is something wrong or will it be ok?

Could just be algae growth. Feel the dark roots, and if they’re firm then you have no problems! They look fine to me.

Ok thank you so much!

I think it’s ok bc my hydroponic pothos does the same thing. I think as long as there’s new growth on the roots you’re ok

Thanks girl! I was starting to worry lol

As long as they are firm then it is okay. I am propagating a lot of cuttings right now and seen some dark ones.. I took them out and they were all mushy 😢

They’re firm so I think they are ok. And ugh propagating can be frustrating when it doesn’t work out
