Hydrogen peroxide, yes. U can also use some other ones like zerotal but that

may be for greenhouse operations. If u can get 3% basic hydrogen peroxide

from a grocery store then use full strength, just spray with a basic spray

bottle after every watering. The stronger stuff ill get back to you on I'd

have to check some notes.
