Question about root plugs!! Is it better to take them off or leave them on the roots?? I’ve heard they’re called “death plugs” lol, but I’ve also heard sometimes it’s okay to leave them ?? pls let me know 🤍

    I always take them off. Even if the roots can get out of the mesh, the soil inside the plug tends to stay wet too long on my opinion

    I also take them off so the roots can breathe!

    I’ve always regretted not taking them off when replanting. I got a few starters online recently and I obeyed their protocol to leave them alone, but most of them didn’t make it and I wear that was why.
