Are these roots healthy? It looks off to me and on the bottom the root seems fuzzy as if there’s mold on it. I rinsed off all the soil and cleaned it really good and repotted her into a bigger pot

Edit: oh and these were a bunch of little round things all in the soil, you should be able to see it in the pictures

SUPER healthy roots !

like dang…

Looks beautiful and healthy. The fuzzy ends are roots hairs and little round things are saprophytic fungi that feed on dead matter in the soil. I don’t see cause for alarm.

I rinsed it all out out of panic 😩

#### Mara replied on 2024-09-08

lol it’s ok. You can’t get rid of it that easy 😉

#### Aly replied on 2024-09-08

Oh ok lol

#### Mara replied on 2024-09-08

Now I’m wondering, did you pull the root system apart?  
So typically saprophytic fungi or mycelium stays present if there is still soil.

I did I pulled it apart and rinsed out all the soil
