# Hello all! Does it look like my roots have rot? I’m a new plant mom…

_Rachelleさんが2024-08-26に投稿しました_

Hello all! Does it look like my roots have rot? I’m a new plant mom and my BOP has been acting crazy over the last month. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to save her. She was my first plant. 🥹

nothin’ wrong with these roots — did you cut them though?

#### Rachelleさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

Yes I did. Is that ok?

#### eatyacarbsさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

well…that depends. why did you cut them? this can cause shock to the plant

#### Rachelleさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

They looked black the ends. I thought it was rotting. Can a plant recover from shock?

#### eatyacarbsさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

well if it was black and mushy stuff that you cut away then you did the right thing, but these roots look pretty healthy. plants can recover but only time will tell.

what was happening with your plant that made you investigate?

#### Rachelleさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

It was really droopy, the leaves were yellowing and the soil was wet for like a month.

They don’t look root rotted to me. One thing you can do to tell is smell them! If they smell really bad and not like dirt and are squishy then it is root rot

#### Rachelleさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

Thanks so much. I hope it bounces back. 🤞🏾

#### Kさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

What kind of plant is it? :)

#### Rachelleさんが2024-08-26に返信しました

Birds of paradise

I agree these roots don’t look rotten; however, if you did have rot, clean the roots with a 50/50 mix of peroxide and water to stop it from continuing. BOP is a sturdy plant so hopefully it will bounce back. If you have already repotted, just wait and if you see any of those same signs, you can water it with the 50/50 mix. Good luck with it!

#### Rachelleさんが2024-08-27に返信しました

If it doesn’t get better you can water with 50/50 peroxide \& water?

### Dondoo52さんが2024-08-29にコメントしました

Yup, bc that could mean the rot was still spreading and that mix will help stop it.
