My raven ZZ has been dropping leaves since I brought her home so I suspected root rot and was correct but I think I got her out early enough! Just removed all of the rotted roots and would love to know if y’all would soak/spray a 3:1 hydrogen peroxide mix on the bare roots or should I repot in new soil and then water with it? Thank you for your help!!

Personally yes I would spray them good and rinse them before putting back in soil. I have several zz, kept where it’s humid- in the bathrooms. They seem to love it. Best of luck to you, give us an update!

just for future reference, you can soak the bare roots to manage the bacteria causing rot. then put in new soil and wated

I would personally just spray the roots thoroughly, it looks really good!
