I would guess 90% of the roots are not whiteish w/green tips. Also, I don't have any Super Thrive, only some MSU fertilizer. So, I cut off all of those roots and soak it in that?

No idea what my wife was doing, but I started soaking it for 10 minutes once a week. The coconut husks are what were in the pot when we bought it a couple years ago, do you think they are still OK?
