How to save the rotten root of Begonia

1. Increase air permeability

Reason: begonia growth needs good air permeability, if the soil permeability is not good, it will affect its growth, serious will also cause root decay.

Solution: to cut off the decaying roots, replace them with suitable soil, and loosen the soil properly in daily maintenance to increase soil permeability so that begonia roots can breathe better.

Second, reduce the amount of fertilizer application

Reason: if the usual amount of fertilizer is too much, it will cause the roots of begonia to rot, and the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: pour a lot of water on it and wash away the excess fertilizer. If its rotten root is very serious, take it out of the basin soil in time, cut off the rotten root system, and replant it in the new pot soil.

3. Treatment of stagnant water in basin soil

Reason: if the amount of watering is too large and the amount of water is not well controlled, it is easy to produce stagnant water in the basin soil, which will lead to rotting roots for a long time.

Solution: tilt the flowerpot to drain the stagnant water, or spread the drier soil on the surface of the basin soil, or use old newspapers to absorb water.

IV. Re-cultivation

Reason: if the phenomenon of rotten roots is found in the early stage, it can be remedied, but if it is found relatively late, it will be reproduced and cultivated in a different pot.

Solution: take out the potted soil of begonia, cut off the rotten roots, be careful not to have new wounds, then soak them properly with carbendazim, and then replant them.
