Thanks, Becky. [Edited to remove confusion about the source of plant stress - my misread.] However it occurred, I'm glad to hear your plant is well, and maybe we could even explore and brainstorm about whether there might be fully OMRI-approved organic ways to combat rots (I think there may be some restriction on H202 use in soil)?
I've read about hydrogen-peroxide-gardening online, but it seems hydrogen peroxide is an OMRI-listed material that is only approved with restrictions; to be used only after other measures are taken (205.206(e) and other restrictions below). This first rule is pretty simple and straightforward, and is explained in post

The OMRI listing: (
http://www.omri.org/simple-gml...)
"Hydrogen Peroxide
Status: Allowed with Restrictions
Class: Crop Pest, Weed, and Disease Control Origin: Synthetic
Description: Also known as "hydrogen dioxide." May be used for plant disease control or as an algicide, disinfectant, or sanitizer if the requirements of 205.206(e) are met. Hydrogen peroxide pesticide products may contain a concentration of no more than 6% peracetic acid as indicated on the pesticide product label without applying the peracetic acid restriction(s). May be used as both an adjuvant or inert ingredient in passive pheromone dispensers. See also INERTS – LIST 3.
NOP Rule: 205.206(e), 205.601(a)(4), 205.601(a)(6), 205.601(i)(5) & 205.601(i)(8)"
