HELP IS IT TO LATE???
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.

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!
1 j'aimeGonna re pot it now tho!!! I think I got all the bad ones out!!!
2 J'aimeAfter you remove the rotting roots, make sure you spray the remaining roots with hydrogen peroxide to kill any bacteria that may remain
1 j'aimeHow should I do that??? Like without hurting the plants Is there a certain way to do it?

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