Thank you! There's a recent trend in checking roots by removing the plant from the pot and then removing all traces of soil. Down to the shine, as I call it. Then, a week later, the plant owner is crying because "there's something wrong with my plant". This horrible habit also spills over to re-potting, which takes place multiple times a month. I don't know how it started, but I suspect "plant influencers". I'm forever telling people not to disturb the root ball unless you know there's a problem. I often ask if the soil smells foul and they think I'm insane.
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. How do I use hydrogen peroxide to cure root rot in a potted fruit tree?
Root rot is very difficult to reverse, unfortunately. There are a lot of recommendations on google for how to cure root rot. Not entirely sure what the success rates are for them though.
I have two avacado plants one is a twin. The twin is my main concern. The edges of the leaves are brown, some leaves have yellow spots, some are faintly yellowing but holds up in colour. I had changed the soil and noticed that a lot of the root had was left back in the dirt as if it was chopped up. How can I save my plant , i have had it for two years now?
Hi! Thank you so much for these videos! I was wondering how you feel about pruning the roots of a plant (either while moving it to a larger pot, or just as maintenance when it has been in a 10-12" pot for a year or longer)? How do you usually go about pruning roots of container plants?
Evertime I grown gardenia and lemon the plant died. I agree tricky to keep alive. I thought it might be that the ph value of the soil needs to be dialed in.
This is usually called "root girdling" and people usually have to cut off the smaller root that is strangling the main part, but only if it's affecting the growth.
Root rot is a seasonal thing. If it is a plant that is susceptible to root disease, then you need to dry them down and keep them in a clay pot regardless of the temperature. Root rot occurs more in cooler temperatures. If it is a plant that is not susceptible to root rot, then you could try putting it in plastic with the high 100° of heat.
I spend about 1 hour with a heat gun pointed at those thin plastic pots then scalpel out a alternating mesh from the pot allowing plenty of oxygen for my bonsai
I cannot find a solution to my issue. I have a potted lime tree it’s 2 feet tall I have had it for three years and I cannot get it to push growth. It gives limes and for the past year and a half, I have been picking the flowers to not allow it to fruit so it can push branches and leaves because it’s really light on leaves. Can you help?

Excellent information.
There are very few videos on TH-cam that talk about this topic as well as you have.
Thank you :)
Wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing. I see bonsai pots in the background. Do you sell bonsai? Bonsai lemon trees?
very good video. you covered the main issues of why a tree turns yellow , it was very helpful.
Delighted to watch and learn. All words are wisely said in short. Give u thumbs up.
Good video, thank you for showing multiple examples of what you are discussing.
root trainers will make an even better root system as it stops the roots circling

Root pruning is very risky and we don't usually recommend it.
Can your soil have too much drainage? I'm thinking of making my own potting mix, but with caution
You the man!
Very informative and straightforward video.Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Hi there. What are your thoughts on air pruning pots?
Good drainage and holes in the side of the pot
What are the little green balls on the root system?
Evertime I grown gardenia and lemon the plant died. I agree tricky to keep alive. I thought it might be that the ph value of the soil needs to be dialed in.
Perfect nice tips.
what about plants, especially some fruit tree plants, do they have black roots as normal or are black roots always considered to be unhealthy?
So so informative. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
When you said there were a few more that are sensitive. Did you mean cannab
Its posible restore broken roots?
what's the best thing to do about a taproot that's kinda grown around on it's self and gotten all scrunched up?
This is usually called "root girdling" and people usually have to cut off the smaller root that is strangling the main part, but only if it's affecting the growth.
Thanks find a balance between dry and watering
Thank you
Thank you, could I send you a picture of my Mayer lemon tree, not sure what going on with it?
Of course! Please send your photo to info@logees.com.
Great info. Are clay pots best for outdoor dry heat 100 degree heat?

Gardenia 😍✨
Helpful. 👍
So if I find the bottom wet and rotting should I not water until the bottom dries out or should I change the soil asap.
Just give the soil a period of dryness. Doesn’t have to parched dry but nearly dry which is when a plant starts to show signs of wilt stress.
You are very handsome and helpful. Thank you so much 💕
Thank you for this video. Could you do a video for wilted avocado trees what to do. Thank you

Absolutely! Could you possibly send a photo of your plant to us at info@logees.com? We'd be happy to try to assist you with this.
I'm very guilty of overwatering! I hate it.
