I just repotted 3 plants today that had these!

Hey, new plant person here! Can you please elaborate?

When plants are propagated at nurseries they use mesh pods with cocoa coir instead of larger pots. This is good for early growth however they don’t get removed and the plant is then potted up. This causes more moisture retention around the center of the roots causing rot and not allowing the roots to grow freely. I’ve noticed them on almost every new plant I’ve purchased.

Oh thank you! I had a string of pearls that might have had that problem. The picture of the roots looked very similar . I attributed it to ‘root rot’, but I’m still unsure of what caused it. Looking back, there might have been coir involved.

Here’s another example on a pitcher plant. It’s the mesh that’s the problem. I cut through it in this picture then removed it. You can see how the roots never grew through on this one.
