Last Updated: 2024/12/24, How to deal with the rotten root of ivy? First of all, we have to find the specific reasons, and then adopt different methods to solve them according to the specific situation. If too much water causes its roots to rot, then we need to put it in a bright place to let the water evaporate, or by changing the soil to help it recover; if the flower fertilizer is not rotten, then we can add some substances to neutralize the flower fertilizer.

1. Moisture

Too much water is the main reason for its rotten roots, because when its roots are soaked in water, it is unable to exchange gas with the outside world, resulting in some physiological reactions can not be carried out normally, leading to the problem of rotting roots.

Solution: once the rotting root is caused by too much water, we need to put it in a bright place and let the water steam off naturally. If the situation is serious, we need to take it out of the flowerpot, remove the broken root system and replace it with a new flower soil without stagnant water. After that, we need to pay attention to the amount and frequency of watering, appropriate control, not excessive.

2. Flower fertilizer

If there is no use of mature flower fertilizer, it is very likely that it will not be able to absorb and utilize the nutrients contained in these flower fertilizers in time, resulting in their accumulation in the flower soil, resulting in its roots being burned and causing rotting root problems.

Solution: at this time, we can choose to replace the new flower soil without excess flower fertilizer or use some substances to neutralize the excess flower fertilizer.

3. Points for attention

① temperature

This is a very important factor, if its roots rot and are still in very hot or cold conditions, it is likely to cause problems because of the harsh environment. Generally speaking, its preferred temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. In addition, it is unacceptable to hot and cold, that is, it is relatively fragile. We should protect it and give it suitable conditions.

② illumination

After its root is rotten, we need to give it enough light and can't put it in a dark place. Because it likes light, putting it in such a place will help it recover quickly. However, we can not let too strong light on it, otherwise it is likely to make it worse.
