# hello!! i got a thai for my birthday a few months back and almost…

_Posted by avalon on 2025-09-27_

hello!! i got a thai for my birthday a few months back and almost immediately saw signs of over-watering. i though waiting it out and checking the moisture before watering would help. i decided to finally check the roots today and saw that there was root rot. is there still hope for her or some treatment recommendations? thank you!!

Are there any other viable nodes ?

there is a very very small one on the backside

I would say your best bet is to snip the remaining bits of the remaining rotted roots and clean it off with some diluted peroxide plop her in some water then all there is left to do is wait with your fingers crossed !

Awww no problem ! From what I’ve read thais are more prone to root rot so definitely something to keep an eye on just make sure it dries out and has aerated soil 🤗
