I am buying this spilt rock from Lowe’s but I’m concerned about the dried out roots (?) on the bottom  
Does anyone have advice?

It’ll be fine! It just outgrew the pot :)

### Riley commented on 2024-05-19

They don’t look dried out to me, they just have very thin roots

### Zach commented on 2024-05-19

Just make sure to repot

What an interesting plant 👀

### MargieD commented on 2024-05-20

I’ve never seen this plant before! It’s cool looking 😁

Cook plant! Would you cut the plastic pot off in this case rather than trying to pull the roots out through the holes?

That sounds much safer 😆 thank you!
