The other cat that had the same root problem is thrusting roots out like a little darling. So far it seems to me that no matter how screwed they are, these plants will almost come back from the dead.

I applaud yr instincts! Trust them! Be the architect of your own journey while also being open to input and assessing all of it. I will share, I came to pot all my cats in coarse tree fern fiber. I switched from my good bark mix early on, and with amazing results. I would not include moss in media for catts....they like to be fully drenched and then, using a perfectly draining mix with air to the roots, dry fully.

OK, thanks for that. I do like peroxide, because it isn't in itself anything that is too chemical, if you know what I mean. It doesn't in itself leave a lot of residues. However, there are other treatments, I agree. I like powdered sulphur, but the problems I have had getting it here, you would weep.
Peroxide is great for getting bloodstains out of concrete. (don't ask)

NO! I wanna know about the blood stains!!!!
In all endeavors, I chase data, sometimes fast, and always choose the most conservative but effective route to a given fix....be it with computers or plants, medical issues or anything else.
