Your roots are ok but you need a bigger container for it the roots require oxygen to grow. The roots being close to the airstone are good since they get oxygen quicker. I would get a bigger container and continue growing
loser90 Reviewed by loser90 on . what should i do? roots grew around airstone (PICS) hey all. i went to go change the solution in my 4 gal. bubbler system and i find that the roots have grown completely around the airstone. it's stuck pretty bad. any suggestions on how i release it? also, do i need to transplant into a bigger bucket, 'cause it looks like it's starting to get a bit rootbound? plus i completely cracked the lid when i lifted it. on the bright side, the plant is doing beutifully. She's already taller than me! Rating: 5
