I don't see roots, reddish or otherwise. Just lots of old mix holding on, which I suggest you remove completely.

Oh maybe I meant the reddish stem? Haha. I just took my hawthoria out of its pot too and it's roots look the same way...when I first potted it they were thick and all white and now its roots are thin like this and it looks reddish brown

Pardon me, but who said anything about it dying? Why are you unpotting the Haw to look at its roots?

I repeat, I'd remove all that old peaty mix. The roots look fine to me, don't know what you're expecting. They can be any color as long as not dried out or brittle (dead).

Because I watered my hawthoria two weeks ago and it's soil is still really moist even though It has a drainage hole. It was all green and looked healthy. And now it has brownish stuff on the sides. Thanks for the info. Sorry didn't know they could be any color.

Pagan corrected your spelling of the haworthia name in this post, maybe you can edit your posts and correct it? You won't be able to edit original posts but you can rest of them. Not nitpicking, just a reminder of the correct name :)

May I ask why did you take it out of the pot - from what you wrote it looks like it has been repotted recently? Maybe I am just misunderstanding your posts.

Could you please point to answers that are 'not straight' and/or 'not polite'?

I would genuinely like to know, since this forum members have been extremely helpful over few years I have been a member. TIA.

not yours! don't worry. I just find that most self proclaimed experts on here like to criticize rather than assist, and sometimes address a "problem" that wasn't in question in the first place. not here to start problems, just stating my opinion and experience. have a great day!

Hi! my english is a disaster,my appologies. i think i know what you mean, 1° its a sedum golden glow and i make myself the same question, i have one, and its geting big and that scarlet colour on the base it has been extended through the stem, and also getting stronger, like a scar, and its alive! it has 1 year maybe. Same thing the roots of the haworthia, if you clean them with water will turn "white" again. but dont do it, unless you make it because it have a plague and its your last resourse. when repot i usually put a little bit cinnamon on the roots, its healing; and do not watering after a few days later. the haworthias on general, when they start getting first yellow, or brown its because they have a lot of sun and not enaugh water. (this in the leaves, not roots) i hope been clear enaugh and helpfull, good luck .

happy hawhortia
