# I’m was inspecting my snake plant because the soil seemed weird to…

_Geplaatst door Maddie op 2024-08-18_

I’m was inspecting my snake plant because the soil seemed weird to me. I pulled it out and saw this. Are the roots supposed to be this color? And should I re-pot it or just give it some fresh soil? Also, should I use succulent souls for this plant when I re-pot it? Thank you!!

I think the roots look fine. If you want to switch out the soil, I would use something made for succulents/cactus. The two I have are in a much “grittier” soil than regular potting a soil

this is normal root coloring for a snake plant 😎💚

Looks good! Try a chunkier soil mix and I think you’ll be golden. Good luck!
