A lot of fern roots are brown to black in color. Crispy wave fern roots are brown in color. A good indicator of root rot is smell. Rotting roots smell bad and not like fresh dirt.

Yeah it smelled terrible

Such a horrible smell! Sometimes it can be hard to tell when rot is starting on a plant that has black or brown roots to begin with… when in doubt the smell test is key!

Gonna re pot it now tho!!! I think I got all the bad ones out!!!

After you remove the rotting roots, make sure you spray the remaining roots with hydrogen peroxide to kill any bacteria that may remain

#### snazzy man respondió el 2024-03-10

How should I do that???  
Like without hurting the plants  
Is there a certain way to do it?

#### KelOlivi respondió el 2024-03-10

Straight peroxide won’t hurt them, just put it in a spray bottle.

It also looks like you have mealy bugs! I would smash the bugs with a q tip soaked in rubbing alcohol or neem oil. Also wipe down all the leaves with rubbing alcohol or water neem oil mix
