| Apr 12, 2019 at 14:09 | comment | added | Bamboo | @blackthumb the question is about a plant in a pot that got root rot... I am not entirely sure what your reference to plants bringing up soil life into the soil itself means, because garden soil is teeming with life anyway even without plants as such, but whatever you think it means, it does not apply in a pot because sterile potting soil will be in there, not garden soil. | |
