  • Hydrogen Peroxide is the perfect medicine for houseplants! The extra Oxygen in the Peroxide provides plant roots a boost of oxygen so they are able to absorb nutrients more quickly. It also can heal root rot & kill pests that can be harmful to indoor plants. I particularly love using Hydrogen Peroxide on my indoor plants to treat thrips because thrips are such a pain to get rid of! Houseplants are such a joy to keep & Hydrogen Peroxide can really aid in healing unhealthy plants. Yay!

    If you make a H2O2 mixture for future use, don’t put it in a clear container. There’s a reason it’s in an opaque brown bottle; it reacts with light to break down into H2O and O2. You’re spritzing expensive water instead of an inexpensive disinfectant.

    Harli! I have had a plant that I frequently think about just giving up on and throwing out that I brought home after finding it at my work, abandoned, on a bookshelf behind a bunch of binders, in hopes to bring it back to life. It has struggled for months.. and like I said I’ve frequently thought of giving up on it. I watched this video last week and immediately watered it with hydrogen peroxide. I just noticed today that she has sprout a new leaf! I just had to say thank you, I would never have thought to do this 🤗💚

      U should give it a pinch of worm castings or forest soil to innoculate it, it'll get healthy much more quickly than it would with just the microbes floating in the air. I put compost that included a field mouse the local cats left in my garden into my pothos when I reported, it got twice as big in a week.

    I always go to peroxide as well ! Glad you did this video 🙌🏻 I use it on my new soil Incase there’s but larva such as Gnats etc. in the soil. I definitely agree soil comes with eggs in it sometimes. Also when i notice gnats flying around a pot. It works ! And I get that yucky fuzzy mold junk sometimes too. So weird. The peroxide is awesome

      I did this to my orchid but I used 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water (watch orchid girl on UA-cam) -- I bought the orchid on clearance with droopy leaves that just hung over the side of the pot. I removed all the decayed roots, soaked it in the solution for 24 hours and then drained it the next day. Within 2 days the plant is nice and perky again. The hydrogen peroxide neutralizes the soil so you will have to change out the soil because it will be sterile, but it also kills bugs eggs and stops root rot in its tracks.
      I treat all my Echeveria succulents with a hydrogen peroxide rinse straight from the box store so I don’t bring pests in my home and to stop any root rot going on. But with my Echeverias I saturate the soil in the pot and let it drain out right away. When it’s completely dry again, then I transplant it into new soil.

    Thrips (by far ) are the hardest dang pests to get rid of.. to the point of insanity! It got to the point that when my plants got thrips I had to cut all the foliage off!😱 I know...tears, tears & more tears! But since the plant community has grown I’ve got some help on the demise of thrips and other pests out there that I could not get rid of without using tons of chemicals. Thank you for sharing the hydrogen peroxide ideas with the community! That helps really nicely & gives the roots a oxygen boost as well. Can’t do it often like you said but every once & a while is great for most plants! Thanks:)

      @@HarliG Hi Harli! Unfortunately both plants have died :( But I don't think its my fault. Your tips and tricks were very helpful! I think it was the nursery where I bought the plants because got both the watermelon pep and the calocasia 1 month ago and from my small plant knowledge its really hard to kill a plant that quickly if you think about it that's only like 3 watering cycles. Additionally the watermelon pep and calocasia from my understanding are completely different plants and its fishy that they both developed rot about the same amount of time when all of my other plants are thriving. I'm calling the nursery and seeing if they have any sort of return policy even for store credit would be nice :) Thank you so much for your fun and interesting videos! Im such a fan!

    Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is commonly used for water treatment because of its oxidizing action and its breakdown decomposition into water and oxygen. ... The immediate effects were 82% decrease in sulfides and a 37.5% increase in dissolved oxygen.

  • @juliejames6322
    @juliejames6322 4 роки тому +308

    Additional tip for this great video: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) rapidly breaks down into water (H2O) especially when exposed to light and when diluted. The disinfecting effect comes from the liberating of that oxygen, which leaves water. This so great in that it’s not toxic and leaves no toxic residue on surfaces, however, it also means that you must mix up these formulas right before using them, they don’t store for more than 24 hours, and I’d avoid using a clear glass container, too, as that contributes to rapid degradation.
    For direct treatment of soil, not plants, I’m a fan of more sparing use with a sprayer stuck into the original dark brown container.

      Ausy no, I dilute it, but I use one of the original brown containers in which to do it, and I only mix up what I’m going to use that day-generally less than 4 oz at a time, as any leftover will degrade into water.

      .
      1. Who the fuck are you to talk to someone like that for asking a question?
      2. She never said @Eric M So mind your business if anyone wants the opinion of an asshole they can fart.
      3. You verbally attack a stranger that waa simply suggesting some content that is clearly a popular subject in the community and would benifit multiple people, including the content maker as it would be popular.(clearly not a selfish act so not only are you a dick but your also wrong)
      4. Also it's common practice to suggest video content it let's makers know what other topics interest their current audience and opens the door for new fans.
      5. She worded this as a question/request and wasn't rude. Wasn't like she demanded it as you imply. ( again you're wrong)
      6. Based off multiple replies the content maker can speak for herself and I'd bet money doesn't want or need your help. (Assumptions are what assholes do)
      7. Don't give advice you yourself didn't use. The topic of this video isn't new and exist on Google too so why are you hear. (Hypocrite much I bet you claim to be a God fearing Christian too)
      8. You are disrespecting a Female be a man and show respect. This is someone's daughter/mother and based off the pic I would speculate she Is young possibly a minor. (Disrepectful, cowardly definitely screams I abuse those weaker than me to make myself feel powerful and strong and to compensate my many character flaws)Have you been rejected lately?
      9. You immediately resorted to name calling which is a sure sign you lost the argument already otherwise why not stick to the subject. (Here's a L)
      10. Maybe if you stopped following ridiculous conspiracy theories with no actual verifiable evidence to support the wild and easily disproven theories. That clearly are nothing more than political propaganda and religous dogma. You would possibly know how easy it is to communicate respectfully with out name calling, resorting to bullying tactics on people you don't know for no real reason is cowardly... What exactly did you think you would accomplish. Sadly cowards like you don't dare act this way in front of real men! Only privately or safely behind your keyboard. You look foolish, it's not to late to redeem yourself though you could admit you are not only outta line but also rude an without civility. Most of all your argument lacked merit to start with since not a single point was actually true. Being accountable and admitting you were wrong would show growth and maturity. An apology for being rude and disrespectful is warranted and may gain you some credibility as an adult and perhaps a small amount of dignity back. Hell google how to look like a internet douche canoe.
