Hi friends will this Chrysanthemum survive?
I'm not sure if it has any disease but root appears ok for me.

It appears to be putting out new leaves and the roots look okay.

Chrysanthemums do not like for their roots to be wet, but they do like even moisture and excellent drainage. They need full sun to perform their best.

I can not say what the problem may be, unless the plant got too dry...?

For right now. It needs to develop a better root system, so keep the soil just moist...make sure the drainage is good and set it where the pot is protected from the sun, but the plant still gets sun.
