Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide on Houseplants! | Hydrogen Peroxide for Root Rot & Pest Management!

Hydrogen Peroxide is the perfect medicine for houseplants! The extra Oxygen in the Peroxide provides plant roots a boost of oxygen so they are able to absorb nutrients more quickly. It also can heal root rot & kill pests that can be harmful to indoor plants. I particularly love using Hydrogen Peroxide on my indoor plants to treat thrips because thrips are such a pain to get rid of! Houseplants are such a joy to keep & Hydrogen Peroxide can really aid in healing unhealthy plants. Yay!

The hardest pest to get rid of is my roommate. If I spray hydrogen peroxide on her I doubt she’ll stop trying to drown my plants

[merkinidgit]

If you make a H2O2 mixture for future use, don’t put it in a clear container. There’s a reason it’s in an opaque brown bottle; it reacts with light to break down into H2O and O2. You’re spritzing expensive water instead of an inexpensive disinfectant.

I saved my fiddle leaf fig from root rot by taking it out of the soil and spraying the cleaned roots with hydrogen peroxide, new clean soil and sterilized pot. worked brilliantly and now I have new leaves again!

"This is my philodendron, and we had a disagreement about watering" 😂😂😂these conversations🤦🏾‍♀️😤😔👍🏾😏

[jennmelendez]

You should make a video all about the best soils, soil mixtures, and fertilizers to use for beginners 🌱😌

[HarliG]

I forgot to mention in the video that I am using 3% Hydrogen Peroxide

[ashlyncorley]

Harli! I have had a plant that I frequently think about just giving up on and throwing out that I brought home after finding it at my work, abandoned, on a bookshelf behind a bunch of binders, in hopes to bring it back to life. It has struggled for months.. and like I said I’ve frequently thought of giving up on it. I watched this video last week and immediately watered it with hydrogen peroxide. I just noticed today that she has sprout a new leaf! I just had to say thank you, I would never have thought to do this 🤗💚

[ProdLaVae]

I always spray hydrogen peroxide on My terracotta pots When they get that white cloudy mould, wipe it off After And it works amazing!

I’ve seen so many different ratios online for this, so I was always cautious and used a low ratio but it’s good to know that a higher ratio doesn’t damage the plants (as long as you’re not doing too frequently of course like you said) Great video, thanks! :)

I used a hydrogen peroxide drench to get rid of fungus gnats, but I used 4 to 1 water to HP. So it was much more diluted, but it still did the trick. Good to know you can use a stronger dilution to get rid of pests!

[amandamarie]

Watched this the day you posted, and I've gotta say you had perfect timing on this for me. A lot of my plants were sick from fungus gnats and a crazy temp change that happened in my house. Watered my plants with a more diluted mix and 2 days later they are all looking better!! Thanks so much!!!

[juliejames]

Additional tip for this great video: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) rapidly breaks down into water (H2O) especially when exposed to light and when diluted. The disinfecting effect comes from the liberating of that oxygen, which leaves water. This so great in that it’s not toxic and leaves no toxic residue on surfaces, however, it also means that you must mix up these formulas right before using them, they don’t store for more than 24 hours, and I’d avoid using a clear glass container, too, as that contributes to rapid degradation.
For direct treatment of soil, not plants, I’m a fan of more sparing use with a sprayer stuck into the original dark brown container.

[nancyplants]

It's nice to see that I could use something around my house if my plants get sick. Thank you.

[valeriesanchez]

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is commonly used for water treatment because of its oxidizing action and its breakdown decomposition into water and oxygen. ... The immediate effects were 82% decrease in sulfides and a 37.5% increase in dissolved oxygen.

[StrangeDisposition]

I did a rushed research on H2O2 for root rot and since it’s already 3% I used it straight on a purple passion plant and the next day it was dead 😭. Thanks for the 1:1 tip, I’ll be more careful next time!

[purrrrson]

You're right about the fungus gnats coming with the soil. I noticed them after repotting some. Doing research, I found out that MiracleGro is often infested with them.

[beardedhoya]

I just started my collection, and it grew F A S T. I’m just now experiencing pests and sick plants (and i have no clue) and your videos have really helped me especially when i feel overwhelmed. Thank you!

[lizzieocker]

Could you do a video about different types of pests and what they look like and signs that your plant might be infested?

[cristybrown]

Just discovered spider mites. This is my first pest problem. I admit I panicked. This is clearly the best video (and I have watched MANY) on pests. Thank you so much!

[kaceemalone]

HARLI! I just found out my crotons roots started rotting last night! Perfect timing and exactly why you’re my favorite!
