Know Your Roots for Optimum Plant Health
By Laurelynn Martin and Byron Martin
Root disease comparison
Knowing the health of your plants’ roots can dramatically improve its vigor. The same applies for container plants: knowing your roots can dramatically improve plant health and vigor. For example: if you are recognizing odd foliage problems such as leaf drop or discoloration, or your plant just seems to lack vigor, be sure to first take a peek at the root structure. We recommend that you simply turn the plant on its side, tap the entire root ball out of the pot and examine the color of the roots. If they are soft, brown and easily fall apart when you touch or pull on them, you can be assured that some or all of the root system has collapsed. If the roots are white or tan colored, succulent when you pull on them and have fleshy white tips, then your root system is healthy. Remember, some plants have fine roots and you may need to examine them with care, even use a magnifier. Without robust root development plants can’t thrive. Half the secret to growing beautiful specimens is having healthy roots.
