The cause of rot of Jasper Rhizome

Jasper, also known as pepper grass, is a perennial evergreen fleshy herb with green leaves, beautiful leaves, variants of Jasper leaves, green leaves and yellow-and-white patches. Jasper has strong shade tolerance and can be placed continuously for 3-4 months in bright rooms. But there are friends in the breeding process of stem and leaf rot phenomenon, this is how to return a responsibility? Let's take a look.

1. High temperature and humidity

Jasper's leaves are leathery, can prevent part of the water evaporation, so the humidity of the environment is not high, but can not adapt to the humid environment, summer in the high temperature and humidity environment is not conducive to its growth, light leaves appear black spot phenomenon, heavy rot. Jasper has strong drought resistance, too much watering will cause rotten leaves, so each watering would rather be less than more, but always keep the soil moist. When overwintering, the basin soil should not be too dry, nor should it be too wet, or the roots are extremely perishable.

2. Low temperature

Jasper is a cold-resistant plant, avoid low temperature, its suitable temperature for growth is about 25 degrees, in the overwintering period the temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees, otherwise the leaves will appear pockmarked, and then gradually rot. It can also be cultivated in a bright and ventilated place all year round and should be placed in a sunny place in winter to receive sufficient light to ensure normal growth.

3. Cold water irrigation

Due to the great difference in water temperature, soil temperature and air temperature in winter, watering with cold water in winter is easy to cause physiological wilting of plants and lead to rotten leaves, so laying hens must be irrigated when the temperature is high at noon, and the overcooled tap water should be dried for a day or two before watering.

4. Improper fertilization

There are many kinds of fertilizers for raising flowers in the family, and there are all kinds of fertilizers. These fertilizers are convenient and effective, but they are not suitable as the main fertilizers for indoor potted flowers. Especially in the application of immature fertilizer, it is very easy to cause root rot, and many people like to buckle the eggshell in the flowerpot or water the flowers with leftover tea, thinking that it is beneficial to the growth of flowers, but it is not. The residual egg white in the eggshell flows into the surface of the basin soil, and the heat produced after fermentation will directly burn the plant roots and easily induce diseases and insect pests. Residual tea contains theophylline, caffeine and other alkaloids, which play a certain role in destroying the organic matter in the soil. At the same time, the residual tea covers the soil surface, which will ferment and mildew over a long time, resulting in hypoxia in the basin, which is also disadvantageous to plant growth.

The above is about the cause of Jasper root rot, hope to help you, want to know more related knowledge, please pay attention to us.
