    Doesn’t look like it.

    So water roots and soil roots are two different things. It’s harder for them to go from water to soil roots, so when they’re put back into soil the roots can end up looking like this. Keep your soil heavily watered until the cuttings are used to being in soil again ☺️

    Looks like the roots got stained by the soil. That’s not root rot which is translucent and mushy.

    Yeah, like others said, I think they’re still good. The most telltale sign of rot is mushiness. Anything the smooshes and comes off with a gentle squeeze is rotten

    If it’s root rot you should be able to smell it
