erisedHey, 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 donโt 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. Iโve noticed them on almost every new plant Iโve 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 โroot rotโ, but Iโm still unsure of what caused it. Looking back, there might have been coir involved.

Hereโs another example on a pitcher plant. Itโs the mesh thatโs the problem. I cut through it in this picture then removed it. You can see how the roots never grew through on this one.
