Q.Root And Stem Root Sage Plant?

Zone cranebrook | Anonymous added on February 22, 2023 | Answered

So my Sage plant has Root and Stem rot from the constant rain is it possible to Revive it. So far ive took it out of the pot it was in and washed the dirt off the roots and now ive Cut the Roots to re-pot it into its original pot which was smaller. now i didn’t get all the old dirt off the roots cuz there are Tones of roots but hopefully all the Dry dirt around will nullify that. Color of the steam is color of Burnt wood Color of the Root’s are a color of Rice with a little much Soy sauce on it with brownish white

Healthy plant roots are generally white to tan. Your best bet is to start over with a new transplant. If you'd like to try to save the one you have, cut off all the brown roots (and the ones that look like soy sauce), replant in fresh potting soil in a clean container.
