So have you ever encountered cyclamen rotting when planting? What is the reason for cyclamen rotting roots? Next, the pro-agricultural network will introduce how to deal with the rotten roots of cyclamen.

First, the reason why cyclamen rots its roots

Cyclamen rotting roots of the common reasons are excess water, improper fertilization and so on, in addition, low temperature and bacterial infection will also lead to cyclamen rotting roots, the following pro-agricultural network for everyone to specifically introduce.

1. Too much watering

During the growth period, too much watering will make the basin soil water in a state of saturation, the root is in a state of suffocation for a long time, absorptive capacity decline, lack of oxygen in the soil, bacteria active, resulting in a lot of harmful gases, resulting in tuber rot.

two。 Improper fertilization

Cyclamen is a bulbous plant, so the growth of the root will affect the health of the whole plant, if the planting time is too deep, excessive fertilization and even submerged to the top of the bulb, will also cause rot.

Second, the treatment method of cyclamen rotting root.
