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

_Rachelle님이 2024-08-26에 게시함_

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?

#### Rachelle님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

Yes I did. Is that ok?

#### eatyacarbs님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

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

#### Rachelle님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

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

#### eatyacarbs님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

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?

#### Rachelle님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

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

#### Rachelle님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

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

#### K님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

What kind of plant is it? :)

#### Rachelle님이 2024-08-26에 답변했습니다.

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!

#### Rachelle님이 2024-08-27에 답변했습니다.

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

### Dondoo52님이 2024-08-29에 댓글을 남겼어요.

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