Is root rot transferable to other plants by mere proximity? I just had 3 plants die of it within just a few weeks :(

    Root rot is caused by your plants sitting in too much water for too long. It sounds like you’re either overwatering or you aren’t using well draining pots

    Yes it can be transferable. Root rot is caused by pathogens, and decaying matter happens to attract those pathogens. But if you touch the root rot, then touch another plant’s roots, you can spread those pathogens and therefore spread the rot. So it’s important to sanitize everything (plant pot, pruning shears, etc) if one of them has rot.
