B-Angie-B 2024The root system in the image appears quite tangled and likely **root-bound**, which means the plant may be struggling to absorb nutrients and water effectively. However, the roots look mostly healthy, so it does seem **saveable** with a little care! ### Hereâs how you can save it: 1. **Root Pruning**: - Gently **loosen the roots** using your fingers or a small tool. If the roots are extremely compacted, you can trim away some of the outer roots with sharp scissors or pruning shears to encourage new root growth. 2. **Repotting**: - Repot the plant into a **slightly larger pot** with fresh, well-draining potting soil. Make sure the new pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging the roots. 3. **Watering**: - Water thoroughly after repotting, but ensure that the pot doesnât sit in standing water. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings. 4. **Light**: - Place it in a spot with **bright, indirect light** to help it recover. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight until it establishes itself again. With proper care, the plant should start to recover, and new healthy growth will begin!
