The foundation of a healthy plant lies in its roots. Nursery-grown plants often exhibit a condition known as being 'root-bound,' where the roots begin to circle around inside the pot.

White and Flexible Roots: These are indicators of active growth.

Spread: The density of the roots should be such that they firmly hold the soil together, yet do not protrude excessively from the pot.

The plant's stem serves as its 'skeleton.' The stems of young plants (saplings) found in nurseries should be straight and sturdy.

Internodal Distance: If the spacing between two leaves is excessive, it indicates that the plant has not received sufficient light (a condition referred to as being 'leggy').

Condition of the Bark: The stem should be free of any cracks, fungal growth, or dark spots.

The leaves act as the plant's 'powerhouse.' Their appearance reveals the plant's nutritional status.

Color and Luster: Depending on the specific species, the leaves should be deep-colored and glossy. Yellowing leaves often signal a nitrogen deficiency or over-watering.

New Growth: The presence of tender new leaves or buds at the top of the plant indicates that it is currently in a phase of active growth.
