Today, I received a call from a friend of a friend. One of his plants showed fungus on the leaves, several signs of nutrition burns and deficit symptoms on other leaves.

We took the plant in, and removed it from its soil. 80% of the root was just brown, dead mush.

We put it into hydro as an emergency solution.

Let's hope the girl survives.

Good on you for helping a friend ๐Ÿ’š

Always, especially knowing that the friend in question suffers from chronic pain. That's the reason he grows, and sadly the reason the plant got into this state :(

What we have done exactly:

First, we removed all infected leaves and branches. All other where sprayed with garlic.

Afterwards we removed her from the pot, and used a gardening hose to remove all soil from the roots. The rot was visible instantly.

After thorough cleaning, we removed all brown and slimy roots, and placed the plant in a 0.05% H2O2 solution.

The most difficult part was to get the good roots through the Hydropod. We used a 3.5mm embroidery needle in the end, that worked best.

We put her in a thin hydro solution (about 60% of the normal concentration) and added a good amount of root stimulant (Rhizotonic).

Now, she is under a dimmed full spectrum light with about 65% humidity in the hope we don't see any fungus.
