First time with a Syngonium. I just bought it this weekend from the discount section. The leaves and stems look relatively healthy (minus a couple slightly yellow leaves) but there’s some roots at the base that look a little off. Just wondering if these look normal or if I need to bust out the shears! Thanks for any advice!

Mine has the same root base too I’m not sure if it’s normal though

I wound up repotting. All the roots under the soil looked good so I’m just going with it 🙃

Yeah I added more dirt to mine recently. It didn’t seem like anything worrisome to me.
