Hi there. I am new to this forum and just posted a question on the thread about rotted peony roots. But I'm wondering if now I should start over; take the root out of the pot; soak in the bleach solution then replant? My issue was I replanted from my parents garden in fall 2019. The plant was beautiful the summer of 2020 but very little growth this year after a very cold winter. I dug it up and found some of the root had rotted. I cut off the rotted part and now have two sections. I rinsed it off and put it in dirt with small gravel for drainage. I didn't cut off any roots or put any rooting hormone on. I put both sections in pots.

I believe there is lots of life still left. But now I wonder if I should take them out of the pot and bleach them. Thoughts?
