If we can know the rotten roots in advance, effective preventive measures can be taken to avoid the death of flowers.

Flowers will have signs when they rot their roots, for example, from the slight changes in potted soil, we can see whether the flowers begin to rot or not, and the color and luster of the leaves can tell whether the roots are rotten or not.

Water the pot soil once a day from May to November (wet through), and check the basin soil the next day. If the soil in the basin is dry and white, it proves that the flower root system is normal. If you do not see the pot soil dry and white, it is still in a wet state. It means that the flower root has rotted, and if it is still the same the next day, it means that most of the flower root has rotted.
