Root pruning and potting of pink palm

We promptly trim the old, dense, damaged, and rotten roots, and after cleaning and disinfecting them, we pot them and carefully place all their roots into the pot.

Generally, you can put some expanded clay or pebbles at the bottom of the pot as a substrate. After that, you can add water. You don’t need too much water, just one-third or half of the root system to ensure its normal breathing.
