I’m repotting my snake plant and these are the roots. 😭 IDK if I should just repot with the new soil as planned or place in water to encourage root growth? She has several new leaf growths, so I didn’t think anything was wrong.

Mabey pot in a small pot or u can put it in water but idk water roots are more brittle and soil roots are stronger but when u move water roots to soil they can tern into soil roots

I’d repot into new soil, super well draining, and 2” larger then that root ball (so pretty small). As TheCrazyPlantLady has said, putting it into water with these small amount of roots might be more damaging.

That’s what I was leaning towards. Thanks!
