Alan Koch of Gold Country Orchids espouses its use straight from the bottle as a fungicide and as an

As the peroxide will decompose almost instantly upon contact with most organic compounds, it is
unlikely that it would do any damage, and cannot produce free oxygen for very long.


I had read that if you had crown rot you could safely water the
