Hey , so my golden pothos recently had root rot and I treated it with hydrogen peroxide. And I changed the soil. Should I water it? I also have coffee grounds should I give it to him🥹

    I would treat the rot before adding fertilizer or more organic compounds- organic material will make the soil more wet and prevent it from drying / causing more rot. A rotted/weak plant also won’t take in fertilizer until it’s happy. Hydrogen peroxide isn’t always strong enough as a fungicide. It’s more of a decontaminant. You can use neem oil (spray your soil) but I personally would use neemMAX. Its pure neem oil and one of its functions on the label is to treat root rot. Gl!

      Okay thank you! I just gave it a little water and I did just put some coffee grounds on top of the soil.

    your plant is going through a lot at the moment, adding fertilizer can be counterproductive, stressing out the plant even further and it will take longer for the plant to recover.

      I only just watered it and gave it some coffee grounds . Should I just leave it alone for now?
