The cactus is green, fat and strong all the year round.

Cactus is a kind of plant that is very easy to breed and is very suitable for lazy people. The cactus is resistant to drought and light, but not to waterlogging and cold. Therefore, the general cactus maintenance problems of poor growth, such as rotting roots are mostly caused by excessive watering or low temperature.

Cactus is not only a kind of plant that is very tolerant to drought and light, but also very resistant to barren. as long as you give it a little soil, you can survive well, on the other hand, if it is not fertilized properly, it is also very easy to cause fertilizer damage and rot. So how to remedy the phenomenon that the cactus has rotten roots? Today, Huaye Valley will come and introduce it to you.

1. Remedial methods for rotting root of cactus

When the root rot occurs in our cactus, we have to dig it out of the soil, cut off the rotten root, and then put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound. when the wound heals, we can replant it into the new pot soil. Since then, maintenance needs to avoid overwatering, preferring to let it dry rather than the problem of stagnant water. Fertilization usually requires thin fertilizer, and the interval is at least half a month before you can apply fertilizer again. Generally, it is not recommended to apply more fertilizer. It is not very necessary for cactus.

2. Methods to prevent cactus from rotting roots

1. Control watering

The control of watering is divided into controlling the amount of watering to prevent stagnant water, and controlling the frequency of watering to avoid watering too frequently causing the basin soil to be too wet. Both cases can cause excessive moisture rot in the roots of the cactus.

2. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

In general, large fertilizer can not be used in fertilization, and it is appropriate to irrigate each time with thin fertilizer solution mixed with water. The use of self-made fertilizer solution needs to be fully ripened before it can be used, and watering with unfermented rice water can easily lead to rot, fermentation and heating in flowerpots, and easy to cause root rot.

3. Control temperature

This problem of low temperature usually occurs in winter. Low temperature can easily lead to frost injury of cactus, which will lead to cactus rot. Therefore, we need to properly control the temperature above 5 ℃ in winter. To avoid cactus exposed in frost environment, we need to pay attention to cold, warm and frost protection.

The above is the cactus root rot remediation and prevention techniques introduced to you by Hua'ergu. If you also have your own unique experience in cactus farming, you are welcome to leave a message and let us study together and make progress together.
