Sorry for the ignorance… what is it?

Your fine this exactly why I posted. Its a netting big box stores or im assuming some greenhouses around the rootball and it pretty much suffocates the plant or causes root rot still dont know the reason why it’s there cause it ultimately kills the plant

This drives me absolutely bananas! I had it on 4 different peperomias that I ordered online. They said that some distributors use it to prevent the plant from getting too big. 🙄

I’ve never dealt with that before, but I’ve only been gardening for 2 days so I hope I don’t have to 🤞😬
