Last Updated: 2024/11/26, The main reason for the rotting roots of violets is that there is too much water and the soil is too wet. If the root system is rotten a lot, then it can't be saved. If the root rot is not particularly serious, the plant needs to be removed from the pot, then pruned, and then disinfected with fungicides. Put it in a ventilated position to dry, then put it into the basin. The watering after that should be reduced appropriately.

1. The cause of rotting root

The main reason for the rotten roots of violets is too much water. The method of watering is unscientific, causing the soil to be too wet for a long time, or being drenched by heavy rain during the rainy season, which may lead to rotting roots.

2. What if the root is rotten?

The problem needs to be discussed on a case-by-case basis. First remove the plant from the pot and observe the state of its roots. If the root rot is so serious that most of the roots are rotten, then it is basically impossible to save it. If only a small part of the root system is rotten, then efforts can still save it. After taking it out of the basin, first trim the roots, mainly to cut off the rotten roots to avoid the expansion of the rotten parts. After that, disinfect the roots with fungicides. After that, leave the plant in a ventilated place until the roots dry. After that, put it back on the pot. Control watering in the near future, wait until the plant completely returns to normal, and then carry out normal watering.

3. Correct watering method

It should be judged best according to the state of the surface soil. Water it after it is dry. If you don't do it, you won't water it for the time being. Do not accumulate water in the basin. Watering is different in different seasons, generally speaking, there is more watering when growing up and less in winter. In addition, the humidity should also be noted that it is more appropriate to control between 40% and 70.
