I bought this a few weeks ago from Walmart. It was ID'd here at DG and I am just now getting around to repotting it. The pot was full of roots.. They are not white, they seem an odd yellowish color. Is this normal for this plant?

They look healthy and fine, though in need of some pruning. .... usually better to carry out bare-root procedures and root pruning (houseplants) in the month before the plants most robust growth period, though.

I had to take it out of the muck it was in... it was water logged in black muddy goo. -- I will just pot it up for now and prune the roots at the beginning of spring. Thanks for the analysis.

Haven't seen you around much lately. I hope all is well.

Ahhh - an emergency. Got it!

All is fine, thanks. ;o) I'm here in the background. I tend to join in the posts where I think the OP or the conversation can benefit from an offering that comes from a more technical angle. They tend to run in boom/bust cycles - sometimes there are a bunch of them, and then comes a time of scarcity. ;o)

I've been filling in with working on & off on a long post about how to be a "Plant P.I." It's about how to approach analyzing your plant to arrive at what ultimately needs to be done to fix it when it's broke.
