Experiencing root rot, any help?

I thought I was watering only when about 90-95% dry. Not sure what I should do :(

Seconding all of the advice that has been given here! When you rinse the roots with peroxide, I’d advise diluting the peroxide with water (1 part peroxide to 2 or 3 parts water) to avoid harming the roots further. Good luck :)

I mean.. I don’t think you are. Your roots look perfectly healthy.

I took out a lot of roots that had become mushy and put them to the side. I just became nervous that the rest of the roots would dry out and/or become mushy too.

#### Evil Plant Dad ha respondido el 2023-11-22

No I’m looking at the the pile on the side that you tore off. They’re not rotted

I agree I don’t see black roots. Maybe a repot with a chonky soil. My Alicasia’s love this Molly’s mix. Check for pests.
