# Hi! Might not be super urgent, but I noticed my Croton Mammi’s roots…

Hi! Might not be super urgent, but I noticed my Croton Mammi’s roots are really dry. They’re dry enough I could break them off easily (though I won’t do that unless I should). What do I do?

It needs to be repotted in a bigger pot so they aren't poking out the bottom.

Been planning on doing that for a while now but haven’t had time  
Thanks for the advice though!

Okayyyy...well then that's completely normal for roots to dry up and break off, they aren't meant to be willy nilly in the air. You could just pick the pot up and clip all of the protruding roots off, if you arent going to repot
