Pulling out My Flower

So I pulled out one of my flowers to see how the roots were looking, and to me they are looking pretty good. They are not brown and they look healthy. So this only confuses me more of why my plant hasnt made any progress in a while. Maybe it just takes a long time for the flower to grow? I have no idea but im just going to have to keep at it and hopefully Ill see results soon. The roots look exactly like the ones in this picture. Nice and healthy. I guess i just have to give it more time.
