How to deal with the rotten root of goldfish hanging orchid

1. The cause of rotting root

If it only has a slight root rot, most of the reason is that it is watered more. Once the soil is too moist and water accumulates in the basin, even the roots of the well-growing Cymbidium will slowly rot. Another reason is that goldfish orchids are placed in places where there is a serious lack of light, and the water poured every day can not be absorbed or evaporated in time, which will also lead to rotting roots.

2. Treatment method

After discovering the root rot phenomenon, first of all, we should reduce the watering frequency, do not water it repeatedly, and water it once in the morning and once in the evening. When the situation improves, water is watered every other day or two days, which not only ensures the water supply, but also does not make the soil too wet, and after a period of time, the rotten roots will slowly improve. In addition, the need to move outside to receive more light, the winter sun is relatively mild, there will not be sunburn, there will not be yellow leaves, when the plant receives enough sunlight, the roots will naturally improve.

If there are more rotten parts of the root, less watering and more light cannot be saved, it is time to consider using a nutrient solution. The amount of nutrient solution is not the more the better, the recovery of rotten roots requires patience, do not act too hastily. Note that when spraying nutrient solution, do not spray directly in the soil and on the root, direct contact with the root is likely to cause root burning, spray on the leaf surface as far as possible, so that it can be better absorbed.

When the rotten root is more serious, the rotten part must be cut off directly. Disinfect the knife before cutting, do not let the bacteria come into contact with the already fragile roots, just throw away the cut roots, and apply some rooting agents on the section to ensure that it can take root and recover as soon as possible.

Although goldfish hanging orchid likes the wet growing environment, it is forbidden to accumulate waterlogging. If it is found that there is stagnant water in the basin soil, it should be dealt with in time, and if necessary, the soil should be changed to avoid rotting roots in the water. If the phenomenon of rotten roots is very serious, it will be irreparable. Therefore, measures should be taken in advance to prevent the occurrence of rotten roots.
