Over AND under watering?! Man, feels like almost every plant issue is linked to those two things.

[kella.cordes]

I’ve felt like I’ve really been neglecting my plants lately but I think they’re actually really enjoying drying out a ton 😂

[Tonii]

DUDE THANK YOU for mentioning the fact they throw small roots into way bigger pots, most of my plants had to be repotted and if not they had to be saved 🧐

[ShareSSD]

This is one of the best videos I have come across for taking better care of house plants. Thanks.

[elanalipkin]

i can't believe you bought a plant with root rot wow that's DEDICATION

[ladymariquita]

Ugh, I’m constantly dealing with root rot. My biggest question is when to water them again? Or do you propagate them in water immediately or let them callous out? Thanks! (My plants are Swedish ivy)

Yet another fantastic video AND we got a feature from Meek **chefs kiss**

Finally got my hands on an exotica and the seller told me not to water or repot for 3 weeks. Turns out it was just a bunch of unrooted cuttings in an 8” pot, majority of them were rotted by the end of the first week. Wish I would have known to rescue it ASAP.

Also, you rock the heck out of a bandana! 😍

Hi Kat. I'm a "liker" and subscriber from Lake Charles, LA. I enjoy your most informative videos where you share your experience with all of us. I've been at this plant hobby thing for a while now and am familiar with it. On the surface, without seeing the roots, you may have no idea why your particular plant isn't doing so well. Only on removing from its pot do you discover this. You did a good job explaining it and I'm sure we've all experienced it at one time or another. I have to mark on my wall calendar what I've done on what date to keep up with it. This include fertilization. Keep up with the good information. This way, I don't have to do research (ugh!) on it and have to dig it out of books or the internet. Happy growing! 😊

This is really helpful! Wishing I had seen a bunch of your videos before making purchases but now I know haha. Love the thumbnail btw 😂

Hi! That just happened to my pothos!!! The same, and because I’m new in the plant’s world I didn’t know what to do! Or what happened. Actually I’m learning about every thing, things that for some people are just common sense, for me is new. My pothos is actually from
Costa farm 😢 I think she is recovering. But this is very helpful 🙏🏻

Awesome review I probably killed around 10 plants last year from over watering because I was on lock down however I have replaced some of them now Im very very careful with how I water I look at my plants daily gosh if it wasn't for over watering I would probably have around 30 plants so yes watering can be detrimental

[spiritkaetzchen]

Thank you so much for this video! My spiderplant got rootrot and this is really helping!

[He_is_an_alien]

there is something else, that i dont see many people talking about, my biggest secret is using mycorrhizae, it is a beneficial fungus that colonizes the roots and helps them a lot with the intake of nutrients and helps helps to absorb water, i really really recommend mycorrhizae,

[maximood-tired]

thank you, hopefully this will save my first grow <3

[johnchristopher]

Wow... thank you...your segment about watering gave me new insight.

[retrospectgaming]

insightful. my avacado tree hasnt been doing very well these passed few months but thought it was because of the season but turns out its root rot and its not savable since the main root was covered in it. atleast i know for next time, thanks plant lady!

[salwaeahmadi]

This the best ever video a bout root rot ❤

[rotay]

Does anyone think the hydrogen peroxide solution will still help if I can’t get much of the pre-existing soil off? I have a pink syngonium that’s really root bound and I think I caught the rot early cause the roots aren’t squishy but are slightly brown.

[canilernproto]

When you propogate is it with peroxide also?

[kieshak]

So if you have to propagate them in water, should the water have a bit of hydrogen peroxide in it as well?
