You have healthy roots. Looks like you may have overwatered it. Try a different soil mix or adding perlite.

thanks so much for your input! 🤍 i’ll definitely look into adding perlite

Definitely health roots and it looks like some dead roots too. I’d pull/ pinch off anything that is squishy or black. Repot in well draining soil. Mine likes to dry out a little between waterings

I see tons of healthy roots.

Plenty of healthy roots. I don’t know if you can do this with begonias, but spray the roots with some 3% hydrogen peroxide

The white is usually new growth
