Help! I repotted my monstera thai con when I bought it. I noticed a lean so I took it out to fix it and it lost a lot of roots. This is what I have left. Do they look healthy? They are all firm when i squeeze on them but chat gpt is telling me that the brown ones are rotten. It's soil to me. Is this enough of a root system for the plant to survive? Should I put it in water to try and get more roots? I don't want to lose the leaves.

If the roots are firm, they aren't rotten so it's probably soil. I think that is enough roots, just pot it in an appropriate sized pot with chunky soil

I agree.
