What about the rotten roots of Phnom Penh tequila?

First, check to see if it is a watering problem

First of all, we have to see if there is a problem with water. It is very likely that the root of it has rotted away because it has been watered too much. It likes wet air, but it is often watered, and its roots rot easily. So during the growth period from March to May, you can water it once every three or four days, usually once a week. When winter enters the dormant period, it needs to be watered once a month and thoroughly. If the surface layer of the soil is hardened, it also needs to loosen the soil. Always spray the leaves with water and keep it humid. if you use tap water, put it for a day or two before using it. Don't sprinkle water on the center of the leaf. If there is stagnant water, it will rot.

Method: if it is the problem of watering, replace the pot soil and cut off the rotten roots. Before cutting off the rotten roots, sterilize the scissors in alkaline water. It is best to add perlite to the soil and make it into small portions, which can improve the soil and become more loose and beneficial to the breathing of the roots.

Check to see if it is a bacterial infection

If its roots are rotten, it may also be eroded by germs. There may be bacteria or fungi in soil and water as well as in the environment. If we do not pay attention to the elimination of bacteria, it will multiply in large numbers in the soil and the surrounding environment, and harm plants. Sometimes people accidentally hurt it, or insects bite it, these affected areas will become a way for germs to attack. If the surrounding environment is conducive to the reproduction of bacteria, it is more likely to die.

Method: first of all, take it out of the flower soil, cut off the rotten roots, and spray disinfection, and then plant into the new flower soil.

Third, check to see if it is improper maintenance

If it is not properly managed, the root will rot easily. For example, if the basin is often too wet, the roots will lack oxygen and will be destroyed quickly, and then they will be stimulated by strong sunlight, the ventilation is not smooth, and the temperature is too high, so the roots will rot more easily. When fertilizing is too thick or not fully mature, it will also burn roots and cause rot. If the temperature is not appropriate, it will breathe faster, consume energy faster, grow weaker, and the roots will rot.

Method: adjust its growth conditions and give it a suitable growth environment.
