Hello everyone! Happy Father’s Day to all plant dads and regular ones. I think my grandmother has overwatered my golden philodendron by a lot and she is severely yellowed/discolored. What should I do/tell my Gigi to do while I am still away?
Change out the wet soil: Remove the mushy smelly roots. Rinse the bare roots with hydrogen peroxide to disinfect. Clean and disinfect the pot/tools. Use fresh soil.
