A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum White Vinegar on my succulent roots!

Hello everyone.
So, I just got my baby Kiwi succulent in the mail and as I was watering it, I accidentally (and stupidly) grabbed my squirt bottle that had white vinegar in (instead of my squirt bottle of water), and poured it in the plant soil. I immediately realized my mistake, and rushed the little succulent to the bathroom, where I washed its' leaves and soil several different times with luke-warm water. I'm so stupid! I hadn't even had the plant 10 minutes and I've probably already killed the poor thing. I hope I managed to get the vinegar out a bit and save the plant.

Good luck, you might have saved it. I use vinegar as a weed killer.

Thank you. The plant is doing just fine. *sigh of relief*

Alice, thanks for letting us know, and I am so happy things worked out for you !
