All About Root Rot 

Great video and channel Amanda. I really learned a lot.

Great video!

Now I can officially confirm that my Hoya Hindu rope has root rot issue! It was quite helpful to see the example of actual problem root. Thanks

I’m propagating my 3 varieties of Hoya to get more. I’m under watering my Kerrii- at least I think I am

I really appreciate hearing that you only use water to rinse the remaining roots. I tried a diluted peroxide rinse on a krimson princess and it took the plant weeks to recover from the shock. Last time I do that! 😂 This was so helpful. Thank you!!!

Nice video.

I can’t believe I missed this video! Now it’s too late 😞 have to restart some hoyas due to inconsistent watering 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I have the same occurrence of root rot on my 20 year old hoya so I made the stem cuttings to try and propagate the plant and cleaned the rot from the roots of the original plant as you described in the video. However, as it is a very old plant, the root base is thick, wooden and there were no tiny white roots to save. I left a bit of a of foliage on top of the plant that I hope it will pick up the growth from. I had to cut most of the stems tho because the leaves on them began to shrivel. My question is whether it would hurt to try and wait for the new roots to develop by submerging the old wooden root part in the water (like with cuttings) instead of putting it in the soil with literally no tiny white roots? I'm afraid the foliage will die before the new roots develop to feed them and water might be quicker to feed whatever of the plant is still alive. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! I'm on my 2nd Hoya Obovata and this one has root rot. I did wash and cut off the rotted roots. I have only had this one for 2 weeks, I ordered it and the seller did say don't water for a few days so I did wait to water. I gave it a good soak after and it never really dried out which I believe resulted in the root rot. My question is can I use a fungicide on the roots and can I just put it in water to get it growing? Or can I put it in leca or should I just use the mix of bark. perlite and soil? It has one leaf left on each stem left so Its pretty well established, even though It has dropped several original leaves. Thank you!

I was so afraid of overwatering, that I underwatered my succulents. I had to regrow a lot of my Hoya cuttings as well, now I have a feeling how to water them in different growmedium. greatings from germany :)

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have two Hoyas that I think theirs root rot going on. I’ll take your advise and try to save them.🌱

so those stringy roots wont recover at all, not worth it to keep? ):
