What about the rotten roots of white palms cultivated in soil and water?

The ability of air purification and purification of white palm has been recognized by the public, and it has become a common indoor potted plant, which can be cultivated in water or soil, so what about the rotten roots of white palm in soil and water culture?

First, how to do the rotten roots of the hydroponic white palm?

The water level in the container is too high.

The water level in the container is too high, the roots of white palms are all submerged under water, and the roots suffocate and rot due to lack of oxygen.

Solution: the root of the white palm should be about 1pm 3 above the water surface, giving its roots room to breathe.

2. The white palm hydroponic container is contaminated.

If the container itself is not clean, it will breed harmful bacteria and rot the roots.

Solution: wash the container thoroughly and soak it with potassium permanganate solution for disinfection.

3. Do not change water for a long time

The root of white palm is usually rotten because of bacteria and so on. Hydroponic plants should remember to change water.

Solution: when the white palm has just entered the water and has not yet taken root, it should be changed once a day, and once every 7 days to half a month after the root has grown.

4. caused by the deterioration of water quality

The rotten root of white palm may be the cause of the deterioration of water quality.

Solution: don't use the tap water of the day, at least trap the tap water for a few days. Do not add nutrient solution at the beginning of the root to prevent the water quality from deteriorating. After the root has grown, you should pay attention to the green algae and bacteria on the water root in time (flushing or disinfecting).

5. The water temperature of sun exposure is too high.

White palm can not be basked in, otherwise the water temperature is too high will also lead to rotting roots.

Solution: put it in a place that will not be exposed to the sun and keep the water at a suitable temperature, not too high or too low.

Second, what if the root of the white palm of soil culture is rotten?

1. The soil does not meet the growth requirements of white palm.

White palm pot requires that the soil is loose, aerated and well drained, and heavy soil will lead to root asphyxiation and rot.

Solution: try to choose sandy loam rich in humus, change the basin once a year before a large number of new buds germinate in early spring, remove part of the persistent soil, trim the root system, add new culture soil and plant it in the larger basin, in order to facilitate the root system development, conducive to growth and growth. Should often give the basin surface loose soil, so that the basin soil often keep loose and breathable, as long as the temperature is suitable, the whole year can grow well.

2. Stagnant water leads to rotten roots of white palm.

White palm likes to be warm and humid, so it is necessary to provide sufficient water during the growing period and often keep the basin soil moist.

3. Caused by long-term low temperature

White palm is a kind of species that likes high temperature and is afraid of cold. The suitable temperature for growth is 20 ℃ 28 min. It should be cultivated in high temperature greenhouse. Long-term low temperature or humidity can easily cause root rot, leaf shedding or scorched yellow, and in severe cases, the whole plant will die.

Solution: it is necessary to enter the house in winter, and the lowest temperature at night in winter should be above 10 ℃ in order to pass the winter safely. It should be about 25 ℃ during the day, and it will grow well. In winter, we should pay attention to cold protection and heat preservation, while keeping the basin soil moist.

4. The soil is too fat to burn roots.

The soil is too fertile and causes root burning.

Solution: be careful not to apply too much fertilizer.

5. the problem of diseases and insect pests

The roots of white palm rot caused by diseases and insect pests in the soil or the plant itself.
