Taking a break from election anxiety to watch this! Much needed video today

Root rot can be so frustrating, glad to see that there’s hope 💕

[@CS-zk6og]

I have to say this I bought a beautiful mojito elephant ear from nursery soaking wet. A leaf died then another in 1 week. I repotted beautiful white roots. It grew 2 new roots the next week then declined. I dug it up all of those beautiful roots gone in 1 week. Nursery gave me a new plant. I cut off all brown roots some white roots and I put it in water with a large amount of peroxide and kept changing water and adding peroxide. Low and behold a new leaf and about 20 new roots sprouting. Woo hoo

[@markrathkamp7681]

I find that the Heartleafs, Brazils, Rios, all are prone to rot. They tend to somehow create wet zones that the moisture meter misses.

You know what I love about these videos? Erika is like the proudest mum showing off her plant babies lol Always great advice 👍🏻

[@flipfloppintexasgirl]

Thanks for sharing! I've had a hard time finding a video showing me the difference between rot and healthy root instead of just telling me and having to interpret the difference. Super helpful to someone who worries about over watering all the time!

[@PinkRosePurpleMauve1]

Next time, before you put your cuttings in water to propagate, to avoid the cut section to constantly rot, you can leave your plant out overnight for that cut section to callous.

[@ayakam2126]

Whenever I’m scared of root/stem rot in water propagation, I put them in separate jars, just to make sure healthy roots/stems don’t get affected by the rotten ones!!

[@ErikaLodes]

Yes, great tip!

[@ivyliew7036]

You are so right there. Root rot does have a kind of smell..

[@luisdeleon3368]

I just bought two rafidafora tetrasperma and they both have root rot 😩 going to repot them now thank for the video.

[@valem5821]

Dang I learned my lesson the hard way too. I put them in clear containers now so I can check the roots and now 0 problems for 1,5 years

[@danielledean5188]

My philodendron brasil got root rot recently and I'm water propagating what's left. I really hope it works!!

[@justlikehearts]

You are my favorite plant tuber!!!!!! I love every one of your videos, your content is never boring or annoying

[@davidcandia9184]

Perfect timing. I noticed earlier the same thing happened to my brasil. Will do the same thing. Wish me luck. Thank you 🌿❤

[@lorenztherese6422]

you helped me save my Pothos in general.. thanks! you're an amazing KZbin influencer. I just started vlogging my plant..

[@ceclancyx]

Thanks for the video, you just helped me save my heart leaf philodenron, a couple of its vines were drooping and I could not figure out why, unpotted and a couple of the stems had root rot. Repotted the healthy ones and water propagating the ones that had root rot.

[@betulbozkurt7481]

girll i love those nails!!!!!!!! thank you once again for an informative and well-spoken video :)

[@ErikaLodes]

Thank you hehe

[@moonlover6827]

I got addicted to watching your vlogs 💚 I love the saving a plant videos. I can relate to your struggles of being a plant parent. I am trying to revive an unhappy plant too 😅 Btw, you're so pretty 😊

[@kenishahammond3935]

I just saved my ZZ's today. Not sure how long they were root rotting but I pray they grow big!

[@CWAdams2512]

You can put pinch of zeolite to water for water propagation. Zeolite is part of lechuza pon, and keeps the water clean. Some people also dip the cut-end to 3% hydrogen peroxide which eats up dead tissues prior to water propagation.

[@marthamiriam8983]

You got a nice little full pot of Rio. Cute!

Thanks for sharing, I just splurged on a Gloriosum that unfortunately arrived with a ton of root rot

[@ErikaLodes]

Oh no!! I really hope you can save it!! Keep in contact w the seller in case it dies tho. Gloriosums are sooo gorgeous

[@Sovereign-Prax]

Root rot is a very bad thing, I forgot about my blue spruce some water and gone just like that 😢. I rememberr you saved your Monstera thai constellationn, which was so good as they can be hard to get and it was a nice present from your sister. Great video like that you could repot out the rest of you rio, well done.

[@ErikaLodes]

Rip little blue spruce ☹️ ya the thai constellation just put out a new leaf!!

[@Sovereign-Prax]

Thats great to hear,

[@abigailkwashi8807]

Erica, did you wash the roots with dish soap or treat it with Hydrogen Peroxide? Root rot is a fungus infection so you have to treat it with more than water. Maybe you could have left the cuttings for a few hours to scab over before you put them into water?

[@xenic101]

Congrats on recovering that plant!

[@jorenznojadera8452]

Just what I needed! My Marble Pothos have root rot.

[@MegaBaconLover]

I haaaaate root rot. Only ever had it happen twice, but one was too far gone to save. Makes you feel so bad for the plant babies!

Hi, my name is Siam Victor and I am from Lamka[Churachandpur] Manipur, India I am working as a volunteer in a Faith-based Orgn.

I managed to root rot some of my pothos, need to adjust to this cooler temperature and soil not drying. So propagating while I watch this video.

My monstera deliciosa is currently suffering from root rot. I’m trying everything. So stressful.

[@shell3775]

My Rojo Congo I've had since early September has grown 1 full beautiful new leaf since. Another new leaf was start to unfurl in this past week, but today I notice it's fallen over. Not the stem but just the leaf. It's dark too. I've had it in a nice aeroid soil mix. I wait until at least the top 2 inches are dry before watering. But about 3 weeks ago I gave it enough water that the largest leaf was dripping water for a day. The next time I gave it less water, and that was 4-5 days ago. All the other stems and leaves look normal. Should I just cut the one new leaf and use some hydrogen peroxide mixed into the water, or do I need to repot too?

[@jeannemuller7160]

Excellent video. Thank you ☺️

[@MatthewHartsuch]

My schindapsus is struggling w root rot but I thought it was underwatered because brown tips and thought that it liked more water, but I was wrong. The roots have blue mold on them 😭

[@mokuho]

My plant ivy swedish was happy for 20 years, but in winter lose all their leaves for overwatering! Ive change the soil, It have two months without regrowing! May be is died! Im very sad! I couldnt save health stem !😭😭😭😭😥

[@heffthegnome]

I bought a philodendron scandens from lowes and I don't see any nodes on them and the root rot was bad. I don't know if I can save it. 😭😭

[@mycharmedunicorn8715]

Erika, I need a variegated string of hearts! Can you hook me up with one? I am in Michigan and can’t find one anywhere! This is so much better than election drama.

[@shivanimahida5544]

Hi dear How do you know if the stems are starting to rot? Will they go pale yellow at first?

[@carayj]

Root rot smells like swamp water

[@36891as]

Yes

I’ve lost too many plants from root rot!

Erika, I love your Rio. Did you get your 6” at Gabriellas?

[@belizekaviar1263]

hi do you have a movie here about a totally dry out philodendron brasil, with very large stems, I saved it from my bad caring neighbor, he give me the plant,... I wil try to save him, I have watering it like a orchid, to suckitup from bottom, a little bit. the leafs looks all yellow, with some dark green, but the leaves looks rimpled, also the large rankels stems, but they have soo many little new nodes, I don't want to cut him, an start from rooting, leavenodes... please can you give advice what the best way is to save this georgious..

[@ErikaLodes]

I had my philodendron like this also, but I had to cut it because the base of the stems were dried out so it wasn’t connected to roots anymore. If the stems aren’t completely dried out, then just watering it consistently will revive it in time. Bottom watering is good 👍🏼

[@ErikaLodes]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYvcqoyia6essKs This is the video I hope it can be helpful

[@mokuho]

How often is it watered after the broken roots are cut off and grounded again? until the soil is completely dry?

[@therootofallthings]

Oooh!!! Root rot!!!

[@ErikaLodes]

Root rot root rot go away 🤥

[@janbaude145]

question: directly after repotting, do you water the plant normally, or do you follow a special schedule?

[@Sabrina-qg5tk]

I wonder this too. Since they've been exposed to so much water, do you have to give the roots a break by not watering right away?

[@ErikaLodes]

I watered this one the next morning :-) usually I will water right after repotting though

[@mokuho]

how to know if the roots are broken? if they look clear, soft but strong like a bow?🙄

[@stephisticated1]

how long do you leave the propagating plants in water?

[@haileebelle13]

I killed my Scindapsus Pictus from root rot and cut it up and water propagated but I also got a new one and I think it’s getting root rot again 😭 I don’t know what I am doing wrong because this is the first (and maybe second) plant I’ve killed from root rot

[@ErikaLodes]

Oh no 🥺 try repotting it into a soil that dries out faster, that could help a lot!

[@nuri3397]

Hey this happened to my huge satin pothos I’m so sad! Have you had any luck with your new plant!
