roots of old

Here are a few photos of the root system of the current girls in rehab. As you can see the older roots are circling nicely there doesn't seem to be signs of rot and they are fairly plump. On healthier plants the main root will finger off and fuzz up these are not doing that as of yet. Although deep inside it looks as if the root growth is starting to carry this characteristics. These roots obviously locked up early in their lives. If they were not saved when they were It is doubtful they would have ever been able to get to a healthy state. Since they have been in my care they have begun repair and been able to grow a new root system to strengthen their establishment. It seems rehab has been beneficial in promoting healthier roots hopefully we will be able to see genetic issues, if any, arise in the next few weeks. These will pull through and we just might be able to push them along sooner than expected if their results remain positive. They have come out of their deficiencies for now.
