123_Id give this guy a full soak after repotting, but if you want to further decrease chances of bacterial or fun #foryou #foryoupage #fypシ #fyp #reels... | By My | Customer says their snake plant has some root rot. Let's get in there and see what's going on. First thing I want to do is get it out of the pot. Of course, that's the only way to know for sure whether or not the plant has some root rot. Let's get it off of here and I would say, yes, there's definitely some root rot present. You can look down in the soil right here. We have plenty of roots that did not make it out of there. There's also an associated little smell. Although, I would say this isn't as bad. Look at that. How it just breaks right off of there. You can see all this exposed sort of flesh of the snake plant right here. So, what we need to do is get all the soil off of here. Little bang on there. Next thing I'm going to do is actually brush off all that remaining soil. Paint brushes are really handy tools to have for gardeners because it's strong enough to get off a lot of the soil but not so abrasive that it's going to hurt the roots. Look, I can brush over the roots tons of times right here. Doesn't really do anything but clean them off a little bit better. Exactly what you're going for. So, we've got that one clean. This one, yeah, it's still pretty firm. We've got some life in there. Let's it up like so. Go to the next one. Yeah this plant is definitely suffering from a lot of root rot. We see that happen. This is we're filming this in January of twenty-four. So when our days are really short we see root rot root rot with a lot of plants. And it's usually because our days are much shorter. So that means there's less time for water processing with the plant. And often times people will keep up with schedules that they establish during the longer days of the spring and the summer months. But they'll keep up with that schedule in the winter months when we don't have as long as days. So that's where we can get in trouble with root rot a lot of times. I don't know if that's the case here but it is very common nonetheless. This one is still pretty rotted. We'll put that to the side there. Getting rid of all the root rot that bacteria in the soil is super important to give yourself the best chance of success going forward. You gotta kind of eliminate that so it doesn't spread. Even if I were to put this in brand new soil right now. The old soil could still be contaminated. Any of the soil that's kind of clinging onto the roots or the stems could still have that bacteria on there. We don't want it to spread when we get it back into our new soil. So let's just take an extra minute here. I don't know if you're doing this to home. Maybe put on a podcast. My wife likes to watch Listen to Murders. Uh they also while listen to murders at the shiphouse. While they're shipping your plants. So rest assured your plants are being shipped under good intentions of solving murders. Apparently. Alright, we're almost there. Now, the pot size is going to change pretty tremendously because you can see we've lost pretty much all the roots. There's like basically no roots. So, we want to go pretty small on the pot size so that we can get lots of airflow down into the to the roots. That's what's really going to help rebuild the root system quite a bit. Okay, so now we've got all of our healthy stuff. This one didn't make it at all. It has no healthy bits on it at all. What you could do if you really wanted to, you could take cuttings this. So you could take the a lot of the leaf is still healthy. So you could take cuttings right here. I like to cut a big notch in mine as well for my snake plants. This is going to help give more surface area to your cut. So that whoops. I was trying to show you the the cut here. So that you have more roots that are going on right here. But since I just cut that one it would be more like this. And then you give little notch in there. And then you can put let this callus over for like a week. Set it out on the counter just like that. Let this open wound cows over for about a week and then just set the cut end in water about right there and it's going to take a while. Snake plants are known to take several months to root but roots will eventually form right here. You can pop it back into some soil, have a whole new snake plant. Alright, let's get this one back into its pot though. First thing we need to do is get rid of our mess. Let's clean all this up. Alright, now that we are all cleaned up, we can get to repotting the plant. There's a couple things I want to do first. You'll notice that it's a much smaller pot than we had before. The reason is because like I was saying, we've lost a lot of root mass. Now, really important right now is we redevelop that root system. If we don't have roots for a plant, the plant can't survive. So, you're kind of on the clock with like refilling the root system. One of the easiest ways to do that is to provide a lot of airflow. One of the easiest ways to provide a lot of airflow is by doing a much smaller pot. So, we've downgraded the pot size because the root ball has downgraded substantially. So, that's why we're going into something that's much, much smaller. It's going to be cramped but trust me, it's going to be good. Next thing I want to do is further kill off that bacteria. Uh usually I would use hydrogen peroxide. However, I left it at the other facility. So, I'm going to be using the Weed The Wild protect with neem oil right here. Neem oil is antiviral, anti bacterial, anti-fungal. It has a whole bunch of properties. So and there's really high quality neem oil in here. So, I'm going to be spraying that on a lot of the roots. This is by Weed the Wild by the way. I don't know if I've said that or not but I've always got that on hand because we sell it here at the store. So, I'm going to be doing being very thorough. Um this is all So, everyone always says like, oh, neem oil smells so bad though. This neem oil does not smell bad because it has, what it smells like exactly is citronella is what it smells like, you know, like the mosquito candles or whatever. It's because there's a lot of other products in there. Cover up the neem oil smell. So, I'm just going to be sanitizing all of the roots like this. Of course, you can still use hydrogen peroxide. Perfectly fine as well. Okay. So, we've got all of our plants nice and cleaned up right here. I've got my little bunch of them going on right here. The first thing I'm going to do is put a little bit of soil here in the bottom. This is a straight cactus oil, cactus soil for pots. Just going to put a very small layer down here at the bottom and then, I'm also going to be using the We The Wild Enriched Powder right here. This is going to help the plant recover from shock. So, that's fantastic. It also is going to provide, this is starting to sound like a We The Wild commercial. Put right here. It's just going to help the plant recover from the shock and develop those roots a lot faster than they would without it. So, that's fantastic. Let's put all of our roots back in there. Nice and gentle like we don't want to lose anymore than we already have. Get it back in there. Once you're finally happy with the arrangement, then, we can start to backfill. What I will say about this, putting them back in here like so There we go. You want to arrange them in a way that they will sort of help each other out. Sort of keep each other upright. I don't think it's going to be totally possible. Because this plant was in a much larger pot. It was a much larger plant at one point. It has grown very very tall as you can see. So gravity is eventually just going to kind of take its course. There's only so much you can do. Don't beat yourself up over it if it's if it bothers you. You can totally just cut them back and have the bulk of the plant staying upright. But that's just a little expectation going forward. Uh okay now we can backfill. Just pour soil all along the outer side. Your goal is to fill in all those now the reason I really like a cactus soil is because it drains really fast and and snake plants are succulents so whenever you're planting succulents you want to use a fast draining material make sure when you get your soil your cactus soil that it it's for potted plants you can buy cactus soil for outside like in ground use as well but that soil is not suitable for potted plants so make sure that you get the right one and of course to get all that soil settled in you can always slap the pot I won't make you. You can do whatever you want but it's good to get all the soil around the roots. Get it nice and in there. Oh, I'm not going to put soil all the way to the very top. I only want it to go down or to about a half inch or so from the total rim of the pot. That way, when I pour water on there, it can pull up and then, soak in but with a nice, sharp draining cactus soil like this, it will kind of just sink in very quickly which is great. I'm going to pack it in there pressing in so much that it will help support the plant to keep it upright but I'm not pressing so hard that it's going to be breaking anything which is important. Like I said, we don't need less live material than we started with and then, I'll probably add a little bit more We the Wab here on top just once you water, they can it'll really soak in in and around the roots. I'm going to mix it in there with my finger a little bit. Now, going forward, what I want the customer to do is put this in bright light. We all know snake plants can do a lower light scenario. However, like I said, we're on the clock. If we don't have enough roots to take life, water and the nutrients up to the leaves, the leaves are going to die as well. So, our main focus is going to be refilling these root systems down here and it just happens a lot faster when the plant is in bright light because of the light but also because of the warmth root like warmth as well. So you're going to get double the effect by putting it in a brighter like scenario or of course a high quality grow light would be fine as well. But that is how you fix root rot on a snake plant. I'll probably just tie these up because they're kind of overgrown.
