Repotting

#Philodendron Hi fam! I repotted my moonlight yesterday and I wanted some advice about checking root rot. I’ve researched about how to spot some but my eye test is still shaky to me. I wanted to know, from looking at my photos, if someone could tell me if you see anything, and if there’s advice on how you can identify id greatly appreciate it! For context, I was repotting Mel since it’s been a long time and when I take the bulb I like to use room temp water to gently detangle the roots with a soft brush when it’s a very tangled spot. I avoid forcing roots to fall if brittle or dark spots to see if my girl wants to separate naturally. The photos are after I did the wash so from this perspective I want to know thoughts on root rot! Thanks for reading all this πŸ˜†πŸ˜…

Looks healthy to me! Rotting roots are usually dark brown and mushy.
Agreed. These roots look fine. If none of them easily sloughed off when you were gently washing them, I think you’re safe :) Happy planting!
