What about the rotten roots of succulent plants?

1. Reduce watering

Cause: rot is a common disease of succulent plants, usually caused by fungal infection caused by too much watering or too moist growing environment. It may also be because the soil medium is impervious and the drainage is not good.

Solution: reduce the frequency of watering and choose a well-drained soil for cultivation so that the water deposits in the stem for no more than a few minutes.

2. Pest prevention

Cause: some insects, such as pink scale, can also cause rot, especially root powder. After these pests absorb the sap of the plant, the wounds left may cause fungal infection.

Solution: pay attention to softened or mushy stems and leaves in time, and spray in time when pests are found.

3. Specific treatment methods.

Crown decay: cut off the rotten parts with a sharp knife and attach crushed charcoal and sulfur. Make sure the wound is dry.

Neck rot: cut off the rotten part, and the rest of the stem can be used for cutting. Make sure the wound is dry.

Fungal infection: cut off the rotten part with a sharp knife, attach sulfur, and then spray the plant with a mixture of benzoate and mancozeb.

Black rot: cut off the infected part with a clean knife, then spray it with benzoate and attach sulfide.
