Last Updated: 2024/12/26, Did your friends encounter the rotten roots of the happiness tree when they were raising it? What should we do at this time? First of all, the plants should be dug out of the soil, washed clean, then cut off the rotten roots, then soaked in fungicides, and then dried in the shade; during this period, the pot soil needs to be changed again, and it is best to choose the soil with good air permeability and good drainage for replanting.

1. The cause of rotting root

Too much water in ①: many novice flower growers think that plants can't be short of water before they know anything about them. Therefore, frequent watering, if the drainage of the basin soil is poor, coupled with poor air circulation, it is easy to let its roots rot.

Excessive fertilization in ②: when cultivating plants, many people think that they lack nutrients when they feel that they are listless or do not grow strongly. Some friends also have excessive concentration of fertilizer when applying fertilizer and apply fertilizer close to their roots. Both of these conditions will make plants rot. First, they do not understand why plants are not growing well and fertilize indiscriminately, which leads to fertilizer accumulation and fertilizer damage. Second, the fertilizer is too thick and fertilized close to the root, which burns the root and eventually leads to its rot.

③ ventilation is poor: especially in summer, the environment is already muggy, if long-term ventilation is not good, it will cause the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, and then cause root rot.

2. The solution

First of all, to dig the plants out of the soil, rinse the soil associated with the roots with flowing water, then cut off the rotten roots, then soak them in fungicides for 12 hours, then drain the water and leave them in the shade for 1 to 2 days; during this period, you need to change the soil, and it is best to choose the soil with good air permeability and good drainage for replanting. If the decay is serious, it is recommended to throw it away directly.
