Last Updated: 2024/11/22, There are many reasons for lotus rotting roots: if it is caused by frequent fertilization, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of fertilization and control the amount of fertilizer. If there is stagnant water caused, then timely discharge of stagnant water, do not produce stagnant water. If it is caused by diseases and insect pests, remove it in time and cooperate with chemical spraying. If the water quality is not good, pour it clean water.

First, fat damage

Reason: if you fertilize the lotus too frequently every day, it will cause fertilizer damage, resulting in rotting roots, and do not apply fertilizer with too high concentration, which will also lead to rotting roots.

Solution: to control the amount of fertilizer application, the frequency of fertilization should also be appropriately reduced, based on the principle of diligent application of thin fertilizer, it is enough to give it some thin liquid fertilizer every day.

Second, stagnant water

Reason: stagnant water is the most likely to lead to rotting roots, if the usual large amount of water appears stagnant water, the root of lotus is easy to rot.

Solution: drain the stagnant water in the basin soil in time, and usually control the amount when watering, do not produce stagnant water as long as possible, as long as keep the basin soil slightly moist, do not be too wet.

III. Diseases and insect pests

Reason: after the emergence of diseases and insect pests may harm the roots, corrosion of the roots will appear rotten roots.

Solution: after the discovery of diseases and insect pests should be removed in time, can cooperate with chemical spraying control, in addition, the lotus should be removed from the pot soil, the rotten parts will be removed and disinfected, and then replanted.

The water quality is not good

Reason: if the water quality is not good, it will be easy to breed bacteria, coupled with a humid environment, bacteria will grow quickly, harmful to the roots will cause rotting roots.

Solution: watering clean water, do not water some bacteria or already have mossy water.
