# HELP!!! Today I went to repot my oldest plant and watched a YouTube…

_Posted by Emerson B on 2023-07-10_

HELP!!! Today I went to repot my oldest plant and watched a YouTube video to help me. Following the video, I completely washed it and studied the roots. As I was doing so I noticed that the roots look extremely weak, I have inserted a picture to help me describe it. Are they still alive and healthy? Should I keep doing what I’m doing? WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?? #newplantmom #helpme

they look pretty good to me! usually plants like aquamarine, string of turtles, giant baby tears, etc. have kind of thin roots. it’s a little funky but i think she looks great :)
