Yes, healthy snake plant roots often have a light orange hue.
Snake plants, also known as Sansevieria or Dracaena trifasciata, possess underground rhizomes from which their roots emerge. These roots tend to be shallow and spread rather than delve deep into the soil.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Healthy Roots: A healthy snake plant root system will typically display a light orange color. They should also be firm to the touch.
- Unhealthy Roots: If the roots are mushy, dark brown or black, it is a sign of root rot, usually caused by overwatering.
Therefore, if you're repotting or checking the health of your snake plant, seeing light orange roots is generally a good sign!
