This is the MOST informative video I've ever watched about root rot. Kaylee dropping some science on us, and I'm here for it.

[@random_girlypop_ontheinternet]

The dislikes are from the bacteria/ fungi not being able to kill the plant

[@PositiveRaincloud]

So cool how your back drop isn't even a backdrop. It's real, but looks like a backdrop because it's so perfect lol

[@DesireeJonesA]

Hands down the BEST and MOST COMPREHENSIVE root rot video I've seen. Thank you so much for this

[@spiralneiro]

Worth mentioning, not all Cinnamon will work. Most Cinnamon is not even Cinnamon but made of other plants or chemical flavorings, its Ceylon Cinnamon that is the true anti fungal / pest deterrent

[@ch3ngg]

i don't buy cinnamon. is there a way to tell if the cinnamon is Ceylon cinnamon? would it be in the packaging? thanks!

[@spiralneiro]

@@ch3ngg Yes, it should be on the packaging. It's also called True Cinnamon. If it doesnt mention it, its most likely not.

[@earisu]

This will be why the shop bought cinnamon powder never worked for me. I used to use it on the ends of cuttings where I'd removed rot and it just made things worse

[@Steve_Mazza]

Most commercially sold cinnamon is from the tree Cinnamomum cassia. Ceylon cinnamon is from Cinnamomum verum (formerly called Cinnamomum zeylanicum). Meaning, both products are from very closely related trees. Both products contain similar chemicals, such as cinnamaldehyde, but the proportions vary between the two. I think it's likely that either one should work against fungus and other pathogens.

[@ammonite400]

Even cinnamon sticks from the grocery store???

[@clarapodhany9218]

Literally cringing because I've just "treated" a plant with root rot and I've done it all wrong. Thank you Kaylee for such a helpful video. Now I'm off to treat my plant again--the right way!

[@Courtbug22]

Did it make it?! 🥺

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

Same here! I carefully repotted my root rot damaged snake plant a couple of weeks ago -seemed to be fine afterward- but just noticed yesterday that another large leaf is going. I see now that I missed a couple of vital steps.

[@rachelschuller6647]

As a science person, I really appreciate how you explain plant care with science. How you break things down is awesome!

[@malinp5510]

Oh my god the amount of time you must have spent on research and especially editing... I really love your videos, they are super informative and always look amazing:)

[@samanthamountain9764]

Where are the other two million subscribers already?! This channel is the best quality and best plant collection 🙌

[@WordzThePoet]

So far, this is the best and most straightforward easy to understand breakdown of anything plant related that I have seen on KZbin in over a year! Thank you so much for this because I recently moved and I suspected all of my plants got root rot. After watching this video, I am sure of it! my silver sword, my bird of paradise, my fig tree, and my Monstera… Actually, even my snake plant all seem to be suffering, and now I know what to do because of you!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Editing queen ✨

[@little.leafling3909]

Your content is sooo high quality🤍 i really appreciate it!

[@nokiddingbrainless]

Handy bonus of the hydrogen peroxide treatment: It also kills the fungus eggs and larvae in the soil!

[@lunatazekat9868]

True! Really works!

[@iwanwet7704]

Hay

[@Joshua_Del_Valle_2005]

IM HERE EARLY! honestly i don't have root rot situation, i just binge watch Kaylee's videos to much

[@s.p5254]

Same! But it’s always good to know information like thus beforehand so you can spot it and know how to treat it. :)

[@Joshua_Del_Valle_2005]

@@s.p5254 yeah! It's been nice to know such knowledge.

[@_Calliegraphy_]

Spend all afternoon treating two plants with root rot yesterday only to find out now I didn’t do it right so I’ll need to do it again 😂😅. Thanks for the detailed information.

[@tattianaconquest7414]

I watched this video last night bc I was researching why my leaves where turning yellow. I know it wasn’t a watering or humidity issue as I have a moisture meter and a humidifier. I checked the roots this morning and low and behold, root rot!! I cleaned off all the soil and gave it a little hydrogen peroxide bath and repotted her. Hoping this saves her. Wish me luck

[@ashleyohayou]

debugging root rot! I love it

[@amyelizabethweafer]

Love this! I'd love a Leca video about how care for your plants in Leca at the shop, what nutrients you use etc. 😊💚

[@hausplants]

That thumbs up in part 5 was amazing. Total 90s DIY vines and I’m living for it!!

[@asianddrmaniac]

Awesome production in this video Kaylee! The content was good, great music, and animations. You're getting so good at this!

[@blasphemous_hippie]

I love how clean and professional the visuals and the editing are in this video! Wonderful advice, thank you!

[@FlameVulpin14]

Been looking for an informational and detailed video on plant care like this. Really appreciate the great video quality. As always love your videos

[@justinevalte424]

Please talk about how you root plants in Leca and how you transition plants successfully to Leca. I know there are lots of videos out there, but I trust you more. Pleaseeeeee

[@Tracysaddiction]

Thanks so much for all the time and energy you put into this video, Kaylee. I’ve had houseplants for a long time and have dealt with root rot before but you taught me a lot I didn’t know! I love your channel and never miss a video. I have learned a great deal from you and appreciate you so much. Thank so much again!

[@madzbalane343]

I love how comprehensive this video is on root rot. Also very helpful and informative for someone like me who’s considering to shift to Leca substrates. Thanks Kaylee💚😇

[@annehenderson2991]

Those root diagrams were really nice!!

[@NguyenHien-wk3xz]

well, this is the most informative video about root rot for sure. I like how you always get straight to the point wasting no one's time.

[@rowanlouise4040]

The quality of your videos is so good omg

[@TheNickolab1]

Yes im here for it, I just had root rot on my baby Thai so I need this

[@sherryporsch9349]

Air is really good for root rot also. My Thai got root rot when I first got it an I took it out of the water an laid it out in the air for couple of hours. Then trimmed off rotted part an left it out in air another couple hours. No problems since. Good luck 😀

[@hjboernerful]

Loved this video - especially for the level of detail, science and recommendations beyond typical root rot guidance (is, don't overwater, cut it off, and hope for the best). thanks for all you do!

[@clubalc]

More of these kind of video please.

[@bronsonbaker7670]

Best and most informative video for me so far this month. Excellent work and thank you 👍😊

[@johnbarry7573]

Love your effort on this Kaylee!!! Thank you so much!! 🤗🌿

[@nickk8563]

This is an awesome video on explaining root rot of plants. Loved it when you explained the science behind it. Very detailed and informative. Cheers!

Love your accent, btw. This is the clearest and most comprehensive video I've seen. Highly recommend it.

[@onlyplants]

One of your best! Everyone need to watch this 🙌🏻

Wow thank you for this wonderfully comprehensive explanation! I am just starting to grow herbs using the Kratky method and ran into the root rot horror. I've been watching so many videos to learn about it but none were as thorough and professionally presented as this one! I'll be diving into more of your content =)

[@susanjay5507]

It is a great video. I might have missed it but I see she doesn't respond and I don't see anything about watering right AFTER repotting!

[@plantseveryinch9024]

Thanks for the great info 👍 😀 💚 repotting today !!

[@dronphiloden2606]

Hey Kaylee, thank you so much for this informative video. I’m glad to have such information ℹ️. Your become for me like Netflix!, that I’m watching your videos everyday with pleasure 💚🌱🙋🏻‍♂️

[@0Ddawg22]

Such a great video. Best one I’ve seen. And I’ve seen a lot on root Rot.

The amount of work that went into this video 😱 Thank you!! I am guilty of a lot of the things that lead to root rot 😞 Good tip with hydrogen peroxide, need to try it. And yes, I once had an actual MUSHROOM in my plant pot 🥲

[@dellyanneee]

My plant had one of those stupid killer nets and I’m happy I caught on

[@amyadwan]

Excellent video Kaylee 👏🏼

I’m currently trying to save a variegated Hoya. All of this information is so helpful.

[@mikd7842]

very professional and much helpful

[@Ryankin87]

Thank you for sharing. Looking forward for more videos like this!

[@waterlily1397]

Totally agree, especially about cutting off some of the leaves if the roots are less, many people dont like to cut off old or yellow leaves,but if u dont it only burden the plant with unnecessary foliage. As long as u have some healthy leaves, cut the unhealthy or old leaves so that the plant will be able to focus on the roots and on new growth.

[@srimatichakraborty2523]

It is so informative and helpful .Thanks a ton.

[@ayoo._shay3159]

I love this video it’s so informative and detailed and it helped me with my monstera’s root rot thank you!!

So glad I watched this video last night! I've now discovered my peace lily has root rot so I've followed this process and hoping it will recover 🤞🏻

[@MalaysianTropikfusion]

I really like your delivery style. It makes you sound very trustable. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. No matter how I put my point across, people will be second-guessing me.
