# I was about to pot this pink princess that I propagated a bit ago,…

_Posted by PlantLovingGirlie on 2025-08-18_

I was about to pot this pink princess that I propagated a bit ago, but the top of the roots have this weird white stuff on it. I’m assuming it’s some type of fungus but I am unsure of what I should do about it before potting it into soil. Would a good rinse of the roots be fine enough? Or do I need to do more? The plant looks otherwise healthy and even has a new leaf coming in

Maybe wipe down with some hydrogen peroxide before planting. It does look healthy.

Should I rinse with water after I wipe down or leave the peroxide on the roots?

#### Random Strands replied on 2025-08-18

I would leave it. Water would defeat the purpose of using it.

I just had to spray down a pearls and jade as root rot had set in. I cleaned them up sprayed them down and let it sit over night.Then repotted them. Been ok so far after a week. Fingers crossed as I really like this little plant. 🌱

I will try that out. Thank you so much for your help! And best of luck to your pearls and jade 🙏🏻🙌🏻
