I have never seen anything like this before. My mom has a spider plant, potted, hanging inside near a window. This plant gets lots of light -- from the window as well as from the fluorescent (sp?) light above it.
Recently she told me it's been kinda pale and listless, so I offered to re-pot it for her. I thought it was root-bound, but what I found was a mass of withered, limp roots that fell off. And the roots that are still on the plants are withering, too.
I re-potted it, added some fertilizer, but I have no idea why the roots were withering, and what I can do to stop it. Any ideas?
Thanks!
