Hey guys I just discovered that root rot is actually something you can treat without an intense repotting. There is a strain of Trichroderma H that feeds on the fungus that causes the rhizoctonia and other pathogens that rot your roots. I don’t have any root rot to test these on and I don’t plant on causing some just to find out, but if anybody has root rot and wants to give it a shot, you can find it online as strain 22 in a dry mix you add to your water. I would love to know if this sounds as awesome to everyone else because repotting and wasting all that soil when you accidentally overwater once feels extreme.
