You might remember my previous thread about a week ago with the same plant:
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=322402
A few days before I posted that thread, in my over-analyzing paranoia when I thought I had some sort of fungus or mildew climbing up the stems of one of my mother plants I did what any over-reacting conclusion-jumping idiot would do and sprayed the lower parts of the branches down to the crown with a 1.5% (mixed 3% first aid h2o2 with water 1:1 ratio) solution of hydrogen peroxide thinking that might help somehow, even though in hindsight I now see nothing needed helping.
Tangentially as a side note, in the past I have sprayed the top of rockwool cubes containing a one foot plant in them with 2-3% h2o2 to try to combat what I thought was black mold spores (it wasn't the green algae or the white fuzzy stuff) and in both instances the plants started to dry up a lot almost as bad as these pics I've included, but then after a couple weeks they recovered and went on to thrive. I should've learned my lesson then but I guess this mother plant was so fragile I shouldn't have sprayed it with h2o2.
I already know I'm an overreacting idiot on this I just hope someone might be able to confirm that this is what happened to these branches. The last pic is a cross section cut of one of the dried out branches on the bottom with a healthy cross section from another mother on the top for reference. Does it seem like the h2o2 oxidized the stem and dried it out?
