# Hey guys, yesterday I got a ZZ Plant and I’m pretty sure it had root…

Hey guys, yesterday I got a ZZ Plant and I’m pretty sure it had root rot but not sure (Some of the roots on the bottom were brown and gooey). Whenever I got it, the pot was almost halfway full of water🥲 I repotted it today (had to cut the pot off because it was so root bound) and removed all of the bad roots, is there anything else I need to do/know?

if you didn’t spray the roots with hydrogen peroxide, i would do that and then put it in some moist but kinda dry soil and let it be for like 2 weeks. zz are very resilient at least in my experience
