@@BathGardenCenter Totally did glad 😊 to have found U¡!!

Hello Tina! This is a great question. Root rot is actually a fungus that grows in overly moist soil and systemically affects the plant. Severe underwatering would just cause roots to shrivel up and die, in which case you would want to cut them off and hope the plant is able to grow new roots. Root damage caused by underwatering is not the same as root rot, and severely underwatering cannot cause root rot, though the treatment for damaged roots is similar! I hope this helps, and let us know if you have any other questions!

@@BathGardenCenter thank you so much! You’re the only channel that answered my question! I’m kinda new to plants but have no one I can ask about it in person and learn better physically so details have been really important to me. I do have another question if you don’t mind me asking? I’m dealing with thrips right now and bought captain jack’s DeadBug spray, I plan on buying the powder too for the soil. I tried looking it up but I couldn’t find any *detailed* answers on how to use captain jack on house plants. Some say not to use it on house plants and others say you can. How often should I use? Is the spray bad to get on the soil? Should I rinse it off after wards? Can I spray it multiple time a day? How many time a week can I use it? How often should I use the powder?

Of course! We highly recommend Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew, and you can definitely use it on houseplants. We recommend using it every other day for about a week, and then cutting back to once per week for several weeks, then using it once per month as a part of your regular houseplant maintenance to help prevent future pest infestations. It is not bad to get on the soil, and you do not need to rinse it off afterwards. You can spray it on multiple times per day, but this isn't really necessary if you are really thoroughly spraying down your plant each time you use it. As far as the powder goes, it is hard to say without knowing what brand/product it is. If it is a systemic houseplant pest control product, we usually recommend dissolving the granules in water to make a sort of "tea" to then water your plant with. This will be a little more effective/fast acting than just sprinkling the granules over the top of the soil. Let me know if you have any more questions! We are always happy to answer them. :)

Hello! Hydrogen peroxide works just as well, too. The purpose in using bleach or hydrogen peroxide is to ensure that no fungus is left in the pot to be transferred to the next plant that is planted in it. In either case, it is important to rinse the pot thoroughly so the bleach/hydrogen peroxide does not affect any plants planted in the pot later. If anything, bleach just ensures the thorough disinfection of the pot more than hydrogen peroxide does. We definitely do not recommend watering plants with a hydrogen peroxide/water mix. The hydrogen peroxide can end up eating away at the roots of your plant causing irreversible damage. Thoroughly disinfecting the pot, cutting away dead or infected roots, rinsing the roots, and using fresh soil is the best way to try to help a plant that is suffering from root rot!
