The latest cyclamen root rot causes and treatment methods

Cyclamen is a kind of flower with high ornamental value, and its planting area is also relatively large in our country. It is welcomed by many people, but when planting cyclamen, both large-scale growers and family farmers will appear the phenomenon of rotting roots of cyclamen, which seriously affects the growth of cyclamen. So what is the cause of cyclamen rotting roots? How can it be remedied? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

First, the cause of rotten root

1. Too much water

Although cyclamen has a certain demand for water in the process of growth. But we must pay attention to control the amount of water when watering. If we water too much, the soil will always be in a state of water saturation. It leads to the deterioration of soil permeability and affects the respiration of cyclamen roots, which is not only unable to absorb nutrient water effectively, but also vulnerable to a lot of harmful gases. As a result, the roots of cyclamen were rotten and the rotting roots gradually appeared.

2. Improper topdressing

When we plant cyclamen, in order to meet the growth and nutrition needs of cyclamen, topdressing is naturally indispensable. The root of cyclamen is bulb, so if the bulb grows poorly, it is very disadvantageous to the growth of the whole flower. When planting, if the bulb is buried too deep, it is easy to cause the bulb to be covered with fertilizer, cause excessive fertilizer concentration to burn the root, cause root rot and so on.

2. Treatment methods

When cyclamen is found to have rotten roots, the plant should be dug up in time, and then the rotten part should be removed. Then sprinkle some plant ash on the wound to prevent the wound from being infected, and then replant it when the incision is dried. When replanting, we should pay attention to the permeability of the soil, so that cyclamen roots can restore growth as soon as possible. And to properly reduce the amount of water and fertilizer, to avoid water and fertilizer touching the rotten roots to cause decay again, if the decay area is too large, then basically lost the remedial value, should be discarded in time.

III. Preventive measures

The main measure to prevent cyclamen rotting is to prescribe the right medicine to the case. The first thing to pay attention to is to control the amount of water and fertilizer, when watering, do not pour water directly into the middle of the cyclamen plant, otherwise the stem position is very easy to accumulate water. Water slowly around the flowerpot. Watering should be based on the principle of not drying or watering. Then we should pay attention to shading and cooling in summer. When topdressing, we should also give priority to watering, and pay attention to control the concentration to prevent the root system from being burned by fertilizer.
