Plant Root Rot Treatment & Prevention

WATCH HEALTHY ROOTS VIDEO BELOW

Root rot is a disease that attacks the roots of plants growing in wet soil. Root rot usually develops when plants are growing soils that are too dense for the water to drain out efficiently, are in containers that lack sufficient drainage holes, or are being overwatered. Prolonged exposure to excess water causes waterlogging, which interferes with aeration of the roots and leads to low oxygenation and decay. Excess water also provides the perfect environment for another common cause of root rot: fungus. The first symptoms of root rot usually occur beneath the soil so gardeners are often not aware that there is a problem until the disease is advanced.

Since the disease spreads through the soil, many people think that the only root rot remedy is to remove and destroy the plant. Thankfully, that’s not always the case. By applying Hydrogen Peroxide 3% – Oxygen Plus to your plants’ soil, you can successfully eliminate suborn root rot and bring your plants back to life. Hydrogen peroxide kills root rot-causing bacteria and fungi and restores the oxygen balance in the soil which boosts your plants’ growth and health.
